Crabgrass uses the Common Dreams item's headline, this link.
In part:
US Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) said in a video for the grassroots advocacy group Our Revolution that “the contrast could not be clearer” ahead of the August 4 primary as voters decide between Rep. Haley Stevens, who is backed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and former Detroit health official Abdul El-Sayed, who’s been endorsed by progressive leaders including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
With early voting already underway in parts of Michigan, said Tlaib, voters are choosing between “a people-powered movement versus the establishment pick.”
“Abdul is on the ballot right now to be our next US senator, the only candidate that is unapologetic in supporting Medicare for All,” said Tlaib, urging supporters to canvass for the progressive candidate, who has also spoken out against military funding for Israel and abolishing US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The Crabgrass opinion: Clearly a second dimension - El-Syaed besides being a populist-progressive, is Muslim, while Schumer, who is Jewish, wants an establishment clone, another one, as a Senator he would prefer. El-Syaed best positioned in polling as a winner. That seems strangely discounted in Schumer's will to architect a Senate to his linking.
And Schumer disilkes Medicare for All. If he'd not feel that way, we'd have it already. He knows cash flows from donors better than Crabgrass does, but Crabgrass knows the hurt on not having coverage when in need, the hurt of med bill bankruptcy.
Schumer prefers a population on tenter hooks. As more docile to his will and beliefs.
And - the original headline - i.e., the Crabgrass headline, does mention AIPAC money. AIPAC anti-progressive money, AIPAC pro war crime money. Keeping people on jobs they may hate so that the family has medical coverage is simply pure evil. It is against employees, pro employers. It is a fascist policy, and was Taft's work after the Second World War ended. Anti labor. Anti collective will of the voting people. Pro AI taking jobs to devastate workers' lives while feeding bottom line big money finance coffers.
In short, Crabgrass believes Schumer is anti-peoples' will. And a "democrat" in name only while influential inner party operative in the second major US party, one as set against the will of the people as the Republicans. Upgrade needed!
