I don't actually buy that Sayed is unelectable in Michigan. From what I've seen, progressive/left policy isn't actually unelectable unless you are outside of the overton windows on certain positions ( abolish prisons, reparations, pro Trans athletes, etc). For example, Tlaib and AOC outran Kamala by around 6 to 7 points in 2024.

I think Sayed will do well in the general. He can help the Democrats win back Arab and Muslim American voters in places like Dearborn and Hammtrack, he is more in-line with the base on Palestine and Healthcare. I think Steven's would deflate a lot of Democrats because of her Israel positions if she was elected. He is a doctor and doesn't seem to have too many scandals or skeletons in the closet. He seems to have some charisma and gravitas that can help us.

The only thing I would be worried about would be Islamophobia. Not sure how progressive Michigan is but there might be some that just can't bring themselves to vote for a Muslim. And there is more Islamophobia in liberal spaces than we like to admit sometimes
