further, michigan will never elect an arab representative. it is not a swing demographic. it's about 2% statewide, and condensed in two or three areas (dearborn and hammtramck) and generally has low voter turnout. a large percentage of them cannot read english and have little understanding of the democratic process. further, their politics are extremely right-wing and completely out of step with the liberal mainstream in michigan. the ones that can read and understand what is going on will vote republican because the republicans better represent their social values.

michigan's very jewish representative, elissa slotkin, is a better representative for michiganders as a whole, and what a future michigan representative is most likely to look like. you might also want to get a good look at the governor, gretchen whitmer. this is the future of michigan politics, not right-wing arab men trying to coopt the democratic party. 

they'd have better luck running as republicans, frankly.

further, michiganders have seen what happens when you elect muslims, in hammtramck. michiganders have been forced to defend their civil liberties from attacks by bigoted muslims in office. it's not an abstraction. it's a real concern.

if an arab manages to win the primary, which is so unlikely as to not consider as a serious possbility, the republicans will certainly win the election.

but that's not going to happen.

the democrats win in michigan when they elect moderate women with libertarian streaks, and that is who they will nominate in the next senate race.
