The former vice president joins Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit to bolster Democratic unity in swing-state Michigan.



I’m sorry wut?
You’re rationale bere is that old liberals are afraid to vote for abdul because he’s a middle eastern Democratic but they’re likely to be swayed by an east-asian woman … … … What the fuck intersection of what crazy ass vendiagram do you think old liberals represent?
You are aware that race is not the deciding factor in MOST people’s voting decisions who are center-left… Right?
There have been a ton of mailers and TV ads making Abdul out to be scary and radical. The Ex-Vice President giving him her endorcement softens those attack ads.
So wait your trying to say old liberals are smart enough to not be concerned with race baiting but can’t think critically about un founded propaganda?
Again I ask you, what wierd ass demographic are you basing your coment on because it seems apropros of nothing founded in reality.
Are you trying to say there are no voters between pure racists and informed people who are fully invested in the US political scene?
I’m trying to say it’s really fucking weird to think that liberals who aren’t dumb enough to fall for sexism ( kamala voters) aren’t HIGHLY unlikely to fall for racism (your so called ‘old’ liberals who need kamala’s endorsement to be accepting of abdul).
In so many words I’m saying your premise is fundamentally flawed and without merit.
There are more areas, other than social issues, that he is being attacked in.
Some people are still scared of the socialism/communism attack angle, which is a higher likelihood if they are from an older generation that was heavily exposed to that propaganda.
Kamala provides an ‘establishment’ backing that makes Abdul’s platform more acceptable/safer to people who do hold those views.
