Last night, 41-year-old Dr. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed won the Democratic primary for United States Senate in Michigan. What he overcame is not just politically significant. It is historic.
He was outspent 11 to 1. His opponents deployed more than $60 million in outside spending against him. He won anyway. And we need to understand why so we can duplicate it nationwide. Here's how:

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Democrats should not just support El-Sayed: they should make him a key campaign advisor. People who can win elections in spite of being seriously outspent are just what we need to counter oligarchs.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Don't follow the money. Ignore the bigger money.
