Israel would rather have the Republican win than El-Sayed. Her actions make more sense when you consider her patron’s motivations.
Well that’s because Republicans and centrist Democrats don’t have a qualm with taking their money for influence
Democrats across the party’s ideological spectrum—in Michigan and around the country—rallied behind US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed after his erstwhile primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers two days before a race that could decide control of the upper chamber.
While Stevens claimed in a CNN appearance Sunday night that she’s “been hearing from a ton of Dems” privately voicing support for her decision, she received nothing but backlash from fellow Democrats in public. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer(D-NY), who quietly supportedStevens in her primary contest against El-Sayed, said that “this is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens.”
been hearing from a ton of Dems
John Fetterman and Kyrsten Sinema: “Some great work you’re doing up there!”
It’s crazy politicians on either side of the aisle thinks Israel cares about them…
AIPAC 100% told her to do this and that it would be a good idea and soooo many people really agree with her.
It’s not just that they’re buying our politicians, they handle them like a spy agency would handle an asset.
Stevens is about to be out of office and worthless to them, so they got her into a kamikaze plane before she asked why the cockpit had a padlock and only enough fuel for a one way trip
They don’t give a fuck about her, just like any other politician they pay and manipulate.
Would be bad business to completely abandon her, would give a bad signal to other politicians on the payroll. She’s got a nice comfortable career as an AIPAC lobbyist after this, most likely.
Well I’m sure people like Jason Turkish are calling her patting her on the back.
Also, Haley’s unhinged interview with Anderson Cooper.

So much smarmy bullshit from this centrist Democrat who went Republican at the drop of a hat.

I know people who are literally “literally retarded” (I thought we did away with that word decades ago), and they would be pissed about the comparison.
She won’t read this, but your neurodivergent peers online will. Fuck you too, by the way 🖕.
And, by extension, a cordial “eat shit” to these assholes who upvoted this hateful slur against the mentally disabled:
Didn’t see the slur, my b
I upvoted it, add me to the list
Use better words.
Regardless of her political leanings, I could tell Haley Steven was a shit bag from the moment I heard her shrill voice. I’m from St. Clair Shores, MI. I now live in the town that she is from. No one, and I mean not one single solitary soul, speaks ANYTHING like she does in this area. Her accent is so fake and it screams, “Give me attention!”.
No one has that accent in this area. It’s completely hit and miss on different words. It’s completely fake and she’s full of shit.
I used to work at the military base in Mt. Clemens, so I can completely vouch for this. Her fake accent was the first thing I noticed about her. I feel like Whitmer popularized the fake Michigan accent and then Stevens absolutely butchered it. It seems like a majority of St. Clair would hate her because there are a lot of Republicans, and the rest hate her for being a fake ass bitch. I don’t even understand how she made it this far in politics.
Blue dogs and blue MAGA have no place in the party
They need to kick these people out of the party. The many hidden, and also not so hidden, MAGA democrats.
Even if you are going to be the centrist corporate party with no teeth, at the very least you shouldn’t be tolerating this party treason.
But I guess that’s just what they do, and regular treason is also a normal thing now. So 🤷
She was kicked out of the Michigan Democratic party.
Oh good. Well at least people are doing the bare minimum.
bare minimum.
What would you have them do, specifically. that they have not already done?
Ideally, figuring this out and taking this action before the primary would have been good. A lot of people had to spend a lot of money and effort to get Abdul over her insane AIPAC ad spend.
Sure, that would have been ideal, but I don’t think it was practical unless you’re suggesting people knew this was coming and did nothing to prevent it.
I voted against her for her in the primary because I could tell she was functionally more Zionist-aligned than Democrat-aligned. I feel like it wasn’t that hard to see, given the tens of millions of AIPAC funding.
The current context was someone saying about this being the least they could do.
Not accepted AIPAC money in the first place.
That is also out of the context of discussing what the Democrats should have done about this betrayal. I don’t disagree with you, but it is completely out of scope.
