Is that all you got?

Abdul El-Sayed on the immediate attacks from his SCROTUS endorsed opponent in the coming mid-term elections:


So glad to see a Senatorial candidate with a spine!  Evan Hurst on Wonkette has the transcript of Abdul's acceptance speech; this is the YouTube video:


That’s the best you got? You can’t actually talk about what you want to do? My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is not taking us to war. My name is not the reason you can’t afford your groceries. You know what is? Their BS policies. So he can point to my name all he wants, but I’ll also tell you this. I’ve been an ‘Abdul’ in Michigan my whole life. This is like the best place in the world to be ‘Abdul.’ You know why? Because Michiganders, they’re big-hearted, they’re open-minded, they’re earnest, and they’re great. And Michiganders are sick and tired of BS politics coming in to divide us …” 

I read Evan's entire post this morning and I just feel... energized.  Alive.  Like there will be a future, and not one where Chuck Schumer reads a sternly written letter from the podium of an empty Senate chamber.  I so want El-Sayed and his generation to come in and help stop the bullshit.  

Onward!
