      They did.

      Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel made it crystal clear on Sunday that Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) was no longer welcome in the state’s Democratic party.

      Hertel posted to X after Stevens yanked her support from Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) and gave it to his Republican challenger, “Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future.”

      What the actual fuck is she doing?

      I feel like she was hoping for him to lose, thus “proving” that she would have been the better choice. But now she’s seeing he’s on the path to win and she’s abandoning all her moral views to just main her AIPAC one.

        Lining up that “I stayed the same but the LEFT went CRAZY!” pivot to changing parties.

        Part of it is probably that she’s neo-lib at best, proper conservative at worst, and part will be she’s bitter he’s likable and will win over her

    The kinds of people who the Democratic party has represented between 1968 and now… are a failed compromise culture. They prefer Republicans, even with Trump, to radicals. And Still most of the Democrats who will be elected this Tuesday are hypocrits of this variety

        A portion of every dollar printed is given directly to weapons manufacturers, “in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed”. I use that blood-stained U.S. dollar (instead of living solely on cryptocurrency), so that makes me complicit.

        Also, i have spent most of the last three years moving to another country. I thought it would make me less complicit, but it wasted time i should have been using to program cryptocurrency and have babies with a tradwife. So that makes me dumb.

      This is a great example of that.

      We took out the garbage in the primary and should all come together behind Abdul El-Sayed.

      Thanks. But what’s with the bold and the random caps?

        I think it’s because Stevens would say “vote blue no matter who” to progressives if she had managed to win the primary, but now that she lost, suddenly she’s willing to switch sides. I wouldn’t have been shocked to see more VBNMW establishment dems failing to stick to their word, but even useless Chuck Shumer has reiterated his support for El-Sayed, so I’m plesantly surprised.

          If you’re surprised it’s because of the time you’ve been spending on Lemmy.

        Tankie way of saying “see I told you so, this one outlier situation proves I was right and you should never vote and let America BuRN bEcAUSe I’m over 18 and I thought deeply thought about this”

        Lemmy is crawling with them around these times, and they don’t just come from that one instance.

          Not a tankie, not a communist, not even from a political instance. I’ve never not voted and never would encourage others not to vote, in fact was actively encouraging people who didn’t. But whatever, don’t let who I am actually am change who you think I am.

          In reality, I am just someone who remembers all the people who blamed PoC for not voting Harris when she said nothing would change in Gaza.

            In that case my apologies. The way you worded that is an example of how they talk, but good on you for voting.
