A year ago, nat’l reporters called ’s bid for MI Governor “youthful naïveté.”
The idea of a “no-name” candidate packing auditoriums was “wishful thinking.”
Yesterday, thousands of people across 3 MI cities came to rally for Abdul.
Nobody saw him coming, either.

Thank you for bringing attention to progressive candidates across the country — hopefully the media will start taking them more seriously now!

So happy that you're using this overnight fame (or infamy, among the corporatists) to bump other inspiringly principled candidates!

“What pushes the masses into the camp of socialism is, even more than the illusion that socialism will make them richer, the expectation that it will curb all those who are better off than they themselves are.” —Ludwig Von Mises

Thank you so very much for taking time to come to Michigan and help Abdul El-Sayeds campaign. We must end this disastrous Republican stranglehold that we currently have in Michigan. Thanks for helping to fight the good & right fights! #NotMeUs

If Democrats run on progressive issues and run a grassroots campaign, they can and will win!
