2026 Mid-Term Elections

[Elixir]

“Normalizes Islamism in the Democratic Party?”
Ooooh NOoooo!!!!!
What next? Noon prayers on mats in the Senate Chambers? Non participants to be stoned to death?
If there’s any normalizationism gonna happen here, it’s gonna be Jesus!!

 

[blastula]

Hinojosa too! OMG OMG

 

[southernhybrid]

Kansas flipped Blue! It is now projected that there will be at least 235 Democrats in the House.

 

[southernhybrid]

El Sayed is still leading by about 3 to 4 points with about 35% of the vote counted.

Here's hoping!

El Sayed, if elected will be one of the smarted, most highly educated members of the Senate, and most of the BS that has been said about him were lies cooked up by the Repugs.

Abdul El-Sayed was inspired to consider a career in politics after Bill Clinton, who was delivering a commencement address at the University of Michigan, told him he had a natural gift for speaking and encouraged him to consider politics over medicine. El-Sayed went on to get his medical degree and ran unsuccessfully for governor of Michigan against Gretchen Whitmer in 2018 before winning the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate race in the 2026 midterm elections.

What roles has Abdul El-Sayed held in public service?​

The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica



Nov. 2, 2026
Abdul El-Sayed served as Detroit’s health director from 2015 to 2017 and was named Wayne county’s health director in late 2022. He implemented programs for underserved communities, including providing glasses for children and placing Narcan in vending machines.

Yeah. He sounds like a real scary guy!

Wow. The Iowa Senate seat just flipped blue! A s of now, the Senate will have at least 51 Democratic seats.

 

[Elixir]

A much needed bloodbath!
Will Cheato off himself in a bunker on Jan 4, or will the Junta prevail, the elected commies be shot and the Shithole of Trumpistan live on for posterity?

Man, if Hasan Piker doesn't get down on his hands ands knees to thank people like Derec and their bullshit, then he is the elitist everyone says he is.

• OH - Sherrod Brown - 49% - 46% - 4% - counted: 87%

Also neck and neck are Abdul El Sayed and Mike Rogers in Michigan.

Collins just conceded.

 

[Ford]

Still too early to tell, but here in AZ it looks like it might be the first time in over 60 years that Republicans lose their hammerlock on the legislature. Hobbs won the governor's race convincingly, our AG and SoS have made it past the post, and even the State Mine Inspector's race has gone blue.

 

[Ford]

Collins just conceded.

So, she's "expressed concern" that she lost?

 

[Derec]

El Sayed, if elected will be one of the smarted, most highly educated members of the Senate,

He is educated, but he is hardly exceptional for a Senator. For example Rand Paul also has an MD, but unlike AES he is an actual physician who completed residency (at Duke no less!).

and most of the BS that has been said about him were lies cooked up by the Repugs.

Him being a leader in MSA is not a lie. Him supporting Morsi in Egypt in not a lie. Him taking money from Islamists (including MB-affiliated ones) is not a lie. Him speaking at the Islamist ISNA conference is not a lie. Him campaigning with pro-Russia and pro-Hamas Hasan Piker is not a lie.

Yeah. He sounds like a real scary guy!

That's a very one-sided look at that guy and it ignores all the Muslim Brotherhood flags.

 

[Derec]

Man, if Hasan Piker doesn't get down on his hands ands knees to thank people like Derec and their bullshit, then he is the elitist everyone says he is.

Your hatred for me is so strong that you support a piece of shit like Hasan Piker just because I am sane enough to dislike him and reject his tankie and pro-terrorist ways?

Sure, mate. Please cry harder.

 

[Derec]

Sure, mate. Please cry harder.

You left-wingers so strongly supporting the likes of Hasan Piker, Abdulrahman El Sayed and Adam Hamawy just proves my thesis that Islamoleftism, or islamo-gauchisme in French, is an actual thing, even though some deny it.
It's not about "crying", as your sophomoric taunting suggests, but that this development is very bad for the Democratic Party and for the country as a whole.

Logically, You should compare to more than just one other Senator to make a judgment on “exceptional” or not.

But Abdul also has a PhD, despite not completing residency, which counts as higher education. So for the claim of southernhybrid highly educated he is higher than Rand Paul.

This is how right wingers are reacting in other forums;

 

[Shadowy Man]

Google just told me that only four US Senators have PhDs. Thats out of 100, so I would think “exceptional” would indeed be an appropriate adjective to describe his level of education among Senators.

And just checked that only four have MDs.

And zero have MD and PhD.

You may not like him but southernhybrid’s assessment of his level of education is accurate and fair.

Alaska won’t have official results until mid-November at the earliest but early returns indicate Peltola will win the Senate seat, the Democrat candidate for Governor (Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins) is the likely winner to replace the term limited Trump loving current one, and there’s even a chance the Independent candidate who was endorsed by the Democrats, Bill Hill, will beat the Republican incumbent Nick Begich for Alaska’s only House seat.
