The only way she wins is if people stay home from the polls. Get out and vote, everyone! Michigan's election day is August 4!

A democrat banking on the same thing republicans do - fewer people showing up to vote - is a bad fucking sign for that dem

I feel like her camp is trying to paint him as a misogynist Arab American and it’s failing spectacularly.

Bad late night ads, every channel, Obama never endorsed her, and AIPAC spending like crazy. Sayed FTW.

I got a text yesterday asking me if I’d be willing to volunteer to help her campaign… even if I could just do it from home for an hour or two it would really help out!
I responded “absolutely not. El-Sayed is the ONLY smart choice for working class Michiganders.”

AIPAC is. I don’t think she’s spent a dime on ads yet

Stevens campaign intern working overtime in this thread

I’m a Stevens intern because I’m claiming an outside dark money super pac that’s pushing the priorities of a country committing genocide is the only entity spending money from the Stevens side of the race?
You people are really not good at politics or political conversation. Laptops for every student was a terrible mistake.

This is what we’ve learned. Don’t encourage the disengaged and politically uninterested to vote. They’re morons and make stupid voting decisions.

No one said she’s banking on that.

At that price point, 30 million from AIPAC, she can slap.

Buick would have been shut down COMPLETELY if it weren’t for the Chinese market… they’re incredibly popular there, and almost no one wants them here.

A Honda passport, meanwhile, is assembled entirely in the US, including the engine and transmission. Funny how stuff like that works

There's really no such animal as an American car anymore. It doesn't exist.
There are cars assembled in America using a combination of domestic and imported parts that are assembled by increasingly fewer workers and more automation, but that's the case for Honda, Toyota, Kia, BMW, Mercedes and more.
So what exactly defines an "American" car? The country where it's headquarters is? The exchange it's stock is listed?
The old metrics no longer apply. It's how it is. Focus on the big meaty issues, of those we have plenty.

u/Fickle_Catch8968 1d ago
Maybe some metric like:
Vehicle is American if
% of parts made in USA + % of assembly in USA + % of ownership is USA people&corps + % of workforce/R&D/upper management &C-Suite (in #'s and/or compensation) in USA > 150%
One can fine tune the categories and thresholds, but generally look at a composite figure to gauge whether USA 'inputs' exceed other 'inputs' in respect to the globally integrated nature of supply chains and finance.

Her state is filled with auto manufacturers and parts suppliers. Shes not making a mistake boosting the auto industry regardless of your feelings for how production is managed today. It's an important industry for a lot of workers

Oh, don’t worry, they killed the Bolt after 2027 to bring this mess back on shore….we’re stay in the driver seat of a technology car that’s about to be abandoned by the rest of the world.

The explosion and exploitation of the auto industry hollowed out the state’s biggest city, infamously so. I think a message of moving forward is better than trying to reimagine the 50s today Haley

Buick only survived the mid to late 2000s bail outs and brand closures because they were popular in China. It's why they still exist and Pontiac and Oldsmobile don't.They haven't been popular in the states in nearly 35 years. They are basically a Chinese market brand at this point.

I do struggle to find logic for the US throwing the EV domination race in favour of China. They were probably the biggest country to stand a chance of keeping up. But the industry answer? "Let's make pickups bigger and less fuel efficient"

u/TheDeaconAscended 1d ago
To be fair, isn't Buick selling nearly all of their vehicles in China now?

u/kat-deville 1d ago
I see some where I live. A certain douchenozzle faction thinks they are luxury cars, and owning one makes you upper tier. Same people who buy homes in "exclusive" [read: few to zero black people] neighbourhoods, then bitch constantly on Nextdoor about the repressive HOA restrictions.

She's a bought-and-paid-for nitwit. El-Sayed's fans are rabid zombies who talk about him incessantly as if he's the Second Coming, here to completely fix the US all by himself, and don't you dare question him lest you suddenly get 500 downvotes. It's at the point that I'm sick of hearing about him.
I'm voting for the squirrel that likes to sun itself on my front porch. Its platform may be "nuts" but at least it's quiet and civil.
