That should make everyone who voted for El-Sayed positively sure that they made the right choice. A vote for Stevens would have accomplished fucking NOTHING. She is one of those greaseball representatives who does not represent her constituents, but acts solely in her own best interests. (Bribes)
post
Already kicked out of the party.

This is the chair of the Michigan Democratic Party.
The video on that article had a great response from El-Sayed at the end, when the press was asking about his response to questions about Stevens and if he knew about her endorsement ahead of time. He basically said he understands that getting answers like that it what drives clicks but ultimately it doesn't matter at all, and that he wished the press would focus on issues the local electorate cares about like prices and wages.
transphobe staffers unresigned yet…
This should be top. Already rightfully expelled.
All the people bellyaching at the top should take note- blue no matter who and proven.
I don't know that I've personally been bellyaching about the top, but as someone who refuses to donate to the Dem party and only donates to candidates directly, this is really great to see. I've been disappointed in the past by the party's behavior, and this is the kind of behavior I need to see in order to be brought back into the fold.
I'm sure you realize this, but when you directly donate to a Democrat or Republican candidate, they are required to turn around and donate portions of that to their party. The requirements are so great that politicians basically have to become 24x7 fundraisers or else they are punished by the party.
People focus on lobbyists and PACs as dumping money into politics, but a large part of the demand for that money is being generated by the idiot parties themselves.
I'm aware that leftover funds often (not always) get donated to the party, but do you have any source for the mandate for portions of donated funds?
I do in fact! Oh, and don't think it is just Congress. I don't have a source beyond "something I heard on NPR one time", but pretty much every level has to raise money in order to get the full support of their party.
blue no matter who and proven.
This seems like a stark rebuke of the above. The national party has been absolutely toxic towards El-Sayud since he filled to run.
Vote Who Chuck Schumer Tells You Too, is more like it
Finally the dems actually kick people out for some of this shit
What are the actual consequences of this though? Michigan is an open primary state. Democratic party membership is meaningless.
Can he do that? Like he has that power? I'm glad if he does of course, I'm just kind of surprised that's within his power to just declare.
church service with him.
uninvited to a joint event
defeated the congresswoman ... in primary.
Sounds like sour grapes and othering.
Yes, I was curious to how much was 'sour grapes'' -that she did not have the maturity, or dedication to democracy, to at the very least just shut her stupid mouth- or she is simply pro radical Zionist. It could be a combination of both. I hope the democratic party permanently 86's her from the party, as there is plenty of room in the republican party for fragile ego's; egos that prefer retribution for bring defeated, to the good of the people of their own country. She is a spectacular, POS.
Wow Michigan really dodged a bullet when they primaried her. Good job, guys.
Wow, she might have either fucked over her own party out of spite or fucked over her own political career.
She'll have a consulting job on the reich-wing media circuit in no time. Her career will be fine.
I get it was a bitter primary. I get she has strong feelings about certain foreign policy issues.
But holy shit, she will be unwelcomed anywhere in Democratic politics forever with this BS. If El-Sayed wins, maybe people will forget in a few years. But if he narrowly loses, she will be a pariah forever. Has she deluded herself into thinking everyone will still talk to her and this will be just a minor point of disagreement they just avoid in their chats?
And it will surprise nobody that she'll go independent and make friends with all the right wing fascists just like John Fetterman. It's all about her and the attention she's going to get from it.
Just normal neoliberal shit...
People really forget about Hillary's PUMA movement in 08, this is literally what they do everytime they lose to someone left of them in a primary.
Her political career will be fine. She can always run as a Republican.
But also,her standing in the Democratic Party might be fine, too. Don't underestimate how much they want to put the even vaguely leftists into their place, or how afraid they are of having all of these Muslims on their ballots.
When I stopped laughing because El-Sayed has inadvertently flushed out another pretender just by being himself, I realized I wasn't surprised.
Stevens' fiance has been stumping for Mike Rogers all along, and while people of differing politics can and do get married, it takes a LOT of passion to go out and actually work for a candidate, which he did and still is. For me, it's not so much a red flag as a question mark.
But then there was the ad that attacked her own side, and its follow-up of her desperately trying to make something out of nothing, low-key harassing El-Sayed until he simply disinvited her to his upcoming event.
And now, the day of his event and standing outside, she's thrown off her cloak and shown her real allegiance.
If you look at what she has said and what she has brought, it's pretty clear she was only ever a Republican in a Dem suit anyway.
tensions boiled over days before the election
Yeah, no. That's a very fact neutral, implied "both sides" way of saying she kept trying to throw El-Sayed off his game until he threw her out, and now she's just attacking openly. Not a lot has really changed here.
Now I'm wondering how much cash I'd bet on finding out her campaign was planned to this end all along: to either win and then switch sides, or to lose explosively before the election in such a way that it cratered her opponent's chances.
In the end it doesn't look like she's succeeded in anything at all, beyond showing her own true colors.
So basically what the establishment democrats did to Mamdani here in NYC. Gotcha.
The DNC/establishment democrats need to go, they do not form coalitions in good faith.
edit obviously vote for al-sayed regardless
The DNC is not a leftist organization. They do just enough to get our votes.
I'm all for strategic voting, but if something like the Working Families Party or even Sunrise Movement is in your area, they are better organizations to support especially if they endorse someone during the primaries.
Man, you guys are trying real fucking hard. Known shitbag has sour grapes and turns and suddenly she represents 85% of the democratic party.
- Get Republicans and Neo-Nazis out.
- Fix Citizens United
- Fix the Neolib/Corporate part of the Democratic Party.
One comes first. Haley Stevens being a shitbag doesn't change that.
I would love nothing more than for Republicans to be rendered irrelevant and for the two parties to be replaced by the DSA and the neolibs. Just be a little strategic in how you go about that. (I worry you are being strategic, and it's not for the benefit of DSA.)
Democrats would rather dance with Nazis than back progressives in their own party
You know who dances with Nazis?
Nazis.
Remember to vote blue no matter who
If Haley Stevens isn't going to vote blue no matter who why the hell should I?
This is how conservatives win. They prey on apathy.
Maybe Democrats should take a page from their playbook so they, you know, win
Yes and she is no longer a Democrat. She is being rebuked by everyone in the party. She has done the wrong thing, and everyone hates her. Well, except the genocide supporters.
Cool. And this happened with John Fetterman too, right?
Oh.
I don’t want to be a Democrat either
Same. I was a lifelong independent but all blue ticket voter my whole life. Then republicans repealed Roe v Wade.
They drew a line in the sand and I'm on this side and they're over there so fuck them I registered as a Democrat my first chance after the repeal. Fuck conservatives and fuck pro-lifers.
They know how the saying goes, if they sit at that table with the Nazis, they're Nazis, and we'll remember that when the dust settles.
Nazis came in, and a third of the people did nothing when they sat down.
Non-voters are Nazis too, by that logic. Thanks for clarifying.
Non-voters are Nazis too, by that logic.
If they chose to not vote, yes. Not every non-voter chooses to not vote. Voter Disenfranchisement is a massive issue. Whether that's severely limiting voting locations, hours, mail-in options, etc. there are millions of people that aren't easily able to vote like they should and end up not voting as a result.
No endorsement from Gov. Hochel.
No endorsement from either NY Senator.
Disgraced former Govener Andrew Cuomo running as a spoiler candidate.
Andrew Cuomo being endorsed by Trump in the 11th hour of the election over the Republican candidate.
Yep.
nah she took 70mil of aipac money, and her husband is also aipac recipient. she was planning from the start as a maga.
establishment democrats
The problem with phrasing it like that, is the neoliberals can lose NY state party just like they lost the DNC.
"Establishment" is just who controls the party, which can be changed.
NY, Florida, Maine, California, there's a bunch of state parties that neoliberals control. But as more progressive get elected, the more say they have in who leads those parties.
Didn't the DNC change rules in recent memory to prevent progressives (or leftists) from getting leadership/controlling positions in the party?
It wasn't a rule change, but taking advantage of a "proceedual issue" to overturn a vote: https://political.org/2026/08/03/david-hogg-addresses-democratic-partys-future-amid-calls-for-him-to-lead-the-dnc/
That election was held by the DNC under Jamie Harrison.
The chair Buden appointed, and then Harrison appointed Harris as the candidate.
The incoming chair saw that Harrison fucked it up, and said they were going to re run the vote.
Not campaign mind you, the ~400 voting members who had just voted for the chair and Hogg on the same ballot would just re-vote.
There was no reason for anyone to expect the result to change.
Hogg however, refused to sign a piece of paper that would have put him on the new ballot. He just refused to.
That's what actually happened.
And I can't think of a reason why Hogg declined to put his name on the ballot, except he didn't expect to win and didn't want to win.
Because all he had to do to win again, was put his name on the ballot
Here's an article from the same month Mamdani won:
The resolution overwhelmingly cleared the chamber in a 328-86-14 vote. The majority of Democrats — 109 of them — voted with all Republicans for the resolution, while 86 voted against it and 14 voted “present.”
I don't think these guys just said this and didn't plan to sabotage any social democrat campaigns.
“Our Democratic nominee for Senate said I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,” Stevens said video announcing the endorsement. “And he’s right. And that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today.”
Wow what a shitty reason to endorse someone.
Childish as fuck.
Edit: also, am I crazy or is El-Sayed not even a leftist? Dude is literally a landlord. So much of this is just veiled racism.
The Overton Window in this country is so fucked.
He has clarified when asked that he is a capitalist. But there's a solid enough contingent of the American electorate that thinks tax systems are a leftwing policy.
I mean he says he supports medicare for all, but yeah could be a center right politician in Canada
I just watched his 60 minute interview and I’m not sure. He definitely is “on the left” I would say that he is really harping on his faith so I think he’s trying to look more central. He was dancing all over the place and bending over backwards to justify his positions without saying he’s a socialist. He kept saying explicitly he was a capitalist which like no, bro you’re a worker just like everyone else who isn’t a big dog running industries but I think he’s doing that bullshit pander to the middle thing that Dems love to do so it’s really hard to pin down where he lands. Given the options in his race I’d vote for him in a heartbeat but I didn’t finish the interview especially impressed and several times I was thinking I could have given a better answer than he did… idk he’s the one to win that race but I can’t really tell where on the left he falls
The guy and his wife own several rental properties. Including one in Dubai if reports are to be believed.
Obviously, he's the best of the available candidates in that race, I just take issue with him constantly being labeled a leftist. It just seems like more racheting of the Overton Window to the right.
I'm very confused on what's happening here. Not that another establishment not-Democrat went full mask off, but of the odd timeline of this.
So this woman lost the primary months ago to Abdul El-Sayed. She stays quiet and/or pushes milquetoast support for the progressive Democrat for those months, even though it's clear she's full on AIPAC supported and has a conservative husband.
Then these last few days, well after a lot of Michigan already voted with early polls, she decides "fuck it we ball" and outwardly and directly decides to endorse the GOP candidate on the ballot? Did something happen behind the scenes? Did she have a mental break? The strategy makes no sense from a sabetour perspectives behind the scenes (she went mask off too early... 2 days too early) nor from a campaign perspective (she went mask off WAY too late for it to matter for the GOP candidate). This can't have been strategic.
Israel came to her in a dream again.
I think it has a lot to go with the new polls that came out today
Centrists and establishment dems have been seeding the narrative for a while that an AES win would be a lot closer than what a middling and corporate/zionist friendly candidate would have done in his place, but that's hard to argue when he's showing a 15 point lead in his race as compared to D+10 races in other competitive states
Steven's is making herself the villain of the week in order to cut down his lead and undercut any potential narrative about left populism being electable in 2028
when you follow the $, there's a connection between her husband and $ getting funneled to collins. he appears the be the one calling the shots not her
shes having a crashout, because she lost to AEB, im guessing AEB wouldnt support her anymore in ehr agenda, with regards to israel. some says she was pressured by her zionist husband to do it. her husband mightve hoping her "sudden endorsement would trick some voters for rogers"? she already got ousted by her own party.

Followed by

Everyone in the room screeched at this woman and still she shot herself in the face.
The beginning of her right wing grift shift. I can’t wait to hear about her visit to Tim Pool’s Loserdome.
She was just doing a weird ass interview on CNN a few days ago claiming she differed from her Zionist husband and would be voting for the Dem candidate. Now this.
How anyone could trust Haley Stevens to keep her word, much less represent the state of MI in DC, is beyond me.
Just move to Tel Aviv already if you love Israel so much you pathetic rube.
Zionist occupation of the Democratic party has a long history that does not seem to be very well understood by the general public.
She says she is doing it for "country". Everyone thinks that country is Israel.
