As a candidate positioned at the center of what researchers say are the worst Islamophobic attacks seen since the aftermath of 9/11, many would expect Abdul El-Sayed to simply defend himself and move on.

Instead, the Democratic candidate for US Senate in Michigan has repeatedly demanded those who question his positions on Israel, the Muslim Brotherhood and his faith, explain the premise of their inquiry. Rather than let others put his loyalties on trial, he has tried to put their assumptions on trial.

    we’re not in a left/right struggle as much as we’re in a class struggle against the billionaires.

    This is just a reframing of the left/right struggle, though. The right has always been about maintaining the privileges of the ruling class since the terms were set when the Monarchists sat on the right side of the National Assembly.
