QOTD -- It Shouldn't Be This Hard

 

"... All right y'all, my name is Abdul El Sayed, and I am running for US Senate because it just shouldn't be this hard. Shouldn't be this hard to afford a 2nd bag of groceries. Shouldn't be this hard to pay your rent or your mortgage. Shouldn't be this hard to afford car insurance. It shouldn't be this hard to see a doctor in the richest, most powerful country in the world, and it shouldn't be this hard to pay your taxes and know that that money is going to be spent on you and your kids to provide schooling and good roads and good bridges instead of dropping bombs on somebody else and their kids and their schools and their bridges. It shouldn't be this hard..." -- Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed speaking at a town hall in Saginaw, Michigan, yesterday (video and transcript here).  El Sayed's popular pitch has been that "It shouldn't be THIS hard to get by," a message of the tour he's been taking to every corner of the State of Michigan with conviction and energy.  He's in a neck-and-neck race with Malignant Fascist "sock puppet" and recent Florida resident Mike Rogers.  If you can, you can donate to his campaign here.
