Why is the Democratic establishment terrified of Abdul El-Sayed winning Michigan? What does a senator funded by individual donors do differently than one answering to lobbyists? How will a Muslim candidate survive the attacks awaiting him in the Senate? When you have $2.3M in foreign PAC money flooding a primary, can real grassroots politics still win? And what happens to progressive policy when you're facing both parties in Congress?

Join us for a conversation with Michigan's most controversial senatorial candidate. We break down why James Carville and Democratic insiders are actively working to keep him out. Abdul walks us through his entire platform: removing lobbyists, Medicare for All in Michigan, and actually representing working people instead of corporate interests. We dive into his controversial decision to campaign with Hasan Piker, the viral moment he called out Haley Stevens' funding on stage, what it means to be the first Muslim Senator in American history, and the unfiltered answer every voter needs to hear about how to actually win in a rigged system.

This isn't polished politics. This is what happens when a candidate refuses to play the game.
