Democrat Abdul El-Sayedās former opponent in the Michigan Senate primary, Haley Stevens, is appearing with Republican candidate Mike Rogers at a Detroit church after intraparty tensions have boiled over days before the election.
The appearance comes after the congresswoman was uninvited to a joint event Sunday with El-Sayed, who defeated her by a slim margin in the August primary.
Stevens has been critical of El-Sayedās comments surrounding Israel. Her fiance said last week he was voting for Rogers, claiming El-Sayed had not done enough to address concerns of the Jewish community.
Canāt tell if sarcasmā¦
Edit: WHY do you COMMENT like THIS? I was trying to understand if you were being sarcastic or not and your comment history is full of EMPHASIS via CAPS
Itās a novelty account, so itās sarcasm.
If Satansmaggotycumfart is any indicator, then I never know when itās ānoveltyā or noveltyā¦
Itās said that if you say Satanās name three times in the mirror, theyāll come out and mock you for your bad takes.
BigMacHole has kept the snark flowing freely for years at this point. I think.
Best to let it just wash over you rather than think about it
Edit: 7mo?? Must be a new instance, yeah?
I guess this is meant to cast Stevens as a generic avatar of ācentristā-death-mask-wearing conservatives who demand unconditional support from progressives if they win but wonāt give it back if they lose?
But I donāt know if Stevens said or demanded that, so itās a bit confusing, and could also be read to attack the phrase āvote blue no matter who.ā Which is a turnoff since it mimics right-wing sarcastic comments meant to mock democratic voters who vote for āleast evilā dem candidates over fascist right candidates - i.e., intended left turnout suppression. So seems like the novelty bit is getting in the way of actual, you know, communication.
Those were just some of my hilarious, important thoughts on the inherently funny topic of sober, lengthy deconstruction of comedy. (That was sarcasm, if such a thing can possibly work without all caps.) (That was also sarcasm. /s) (Despite the ā/s,ā that last one wasnāt sarcasm.) (Feeling good about this one.)
Yeah, I had to ask, because Stevens isnāt the candidate youāre voting forā¦ So vote blue no matter who ā¢ļø/s doesnāt quite hit because she got primaryād.
Which is WHY PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES
Whoops, too many caps this time
No no, the caps made me understand your sarcasm!
Wait, no, sorry.
No NO, the CAPS made me understand your SARCASM!
Oh, thatās better.
But I wasnāt trying to be sarcastic. And neither were you! DAMN IT.
