Abdul El-Sayed is running for foreign policy authority and discovering what Omri Mamdani already learned: the Democratic establishment won't budge on Israel. Zach Nessel, secretary of the Michigan Jewish Democratic Caucus, just said AES hasn't done enough to earn their endorsement. This isn't about finding compromise. It's about total alignment on a single position. The difference now is El-Sayed isn't some academic writing papers. He's a serious candidate for office. That makes every word matter more, and the pressure to conform harder.
