This is what the democratic party members Lon Johnson, a former Michigan Democratic Party chair, and David Kramer, a longtime Democratic strategist who has previously helped elect Democrats to the Senate, say after their candidate lost. Both supported Rep. Haley Stevens (per https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/columnists/nolan-finley/2026/10/16/dem-leaders-urge-party-to-vote-none-of-the-above-in-senate-race-finley/92269640007/). These are the people that would rally "party unity" to ensure a republican defeat if their zionist candidate had won. Despicable.

Oof, the amount of dog whistles in that op-ed, you'd think it was written by Stephen Miller.

I guess it's not surprising that one of the authors is on the board of directors of Democratic Majority for Israel. And the other is accused of offering then Senate candidate Nassar Beydoun 20 million dollars from a pro-Israel lobbying group to drop his Senate campaign and instead offer a primary challenge to Palestinian Muslim Rashida Tlaib in the 2024 election.

    Jesus christ, do you have a link or something to that?
