It’s fine to believe that being anti-Trump justifies supporting every Democrat imaginable, but just don’t pretend it’s a principled stand to demand higher standards for Republicans while applying zero standards for Dems. Abdul El-Sayed was the easiest litmus test imaginable for anyone who claims to have actual standards that aren’t just based on partisan hackery. He’s a radical extremist. He surrounds himself with the most hateful and extreme people imaginable. That’s also his support base. These are people he chooses to promote and associate with because he agrees with them. His own past positions and statements back that up. Again, you can justify it however you want. Say that having a Dem in that seat is more important than opposing such radicalism on the left. But stop gaslighting people by pretending there are any principles that apply here other than being anti-Republican.

I’ve opposed @AbdulElSayed since he campaigned with Hasan Piker and excused a terrorist who tried to murder 140 Jewish preschoolers. My position isn’t new. It solidified because of what Abdul has/hasn’t done and said lately. It’s possible (dare I say, patriotic) to oppose extremists in both parties. Stop demanding that Jews compromise our safety and bend the knee to a candidate, and increasingly a party, that DNGAF about us. If your reaction is to deny this reality, call me a cunt or allege that I’m paid by Israel, check yourself. Instead, listen to what Haley’s fiancé said and consider why MANY lifelong Dems feel the same. Abdul told @HaleyforMI to fuck off (when he should have been shoring up support from her supporters). You’re shocked that she reassessed the dude her mom and fiancé voted for? You’re excommunicating her from the party as a result? I don’t recall such treatment of Rashida and other leftists when they refused to vote for Kamala Harris in a FAR more critical race. While I wouldn’t have endorsed Rogers, I respect Haley for being willing to make a costly personal and political decision because she thought it was the right thing to do. There’s not enough of that in today’s politics. Everyone calling her a traitor (and much worse) demonstrates that our party is becoming increasingly illiberal, demanding 💯 purity to an ever shifting ideological platform. We’ll see the same nonsense on display when you demand that everyone running for POTUS in 2028 adhere to the “genocide” lie. Yes, I said it - it’s a fucking lie and everyone who repeats it puts a target on the backs of Jewish Americans. This is why I find Abdul every bit as dangerous as MAGA, which I wouldn’t expect you to understand if you don’t constantly fear that your place of worship or your kids’ schools or camps are going to be violently attacked. Abdul should be judged by the rabid Jew-hating company he keeps - especially those with whom he campaigns - and his incessant scapegoating of Jews. He can’t even bring himself to pretend for 2 weeks. Acknowledging this doesn’t make us terrible people or disloyal Democrats. Telling us to STFU and demanding that we support people who hate us is the problem.

El-Sayed’s antisemitic views don’t disappear simply because Democrats choose to overlook them. If defeating Trump requires abandoning the principles Democrats claim to defend, what makes them any different?

Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future.

All the way back in April, during the primary, Stevens was booed and attacked at the Michigan Dem convention by DSA activists. foxnews.com/politics/left-wi… The far-left might not represent most Dem voters, but they do now control a lot of the Dem Party establishment, and they don't want to share a coalition with Dems like Stevens. She finally accepted that. I suspect more Dems will come to this realization in coming years. Then it will be up to the Dem Party whether to continue in this direction or repudiate the extremists taking over their party.

It has nothing to do with Gaza or even Palestinians. It has simply become a global symbol for wanting the destruction of western civilization.

Like El-Sayed’s positions on Israel, don’t like El-Sayed’s position on Israel. But don’t kid yourselves. With democracy on the line, Democrats abstaining in the Senate race is not “an act of dignity”—it’s an act of sabotage.

According to @BarackObama, Jews fled Europe, arrived in someone else’s land and became “excessive.” Conveniently missing: The Jewish people’s millennia-old connection to the Land of Israel and centuries of continuous Jewish presence there. Israel’s legitimacy did not begin with European persecution. Neither did Jewish history.

"Hamas knew where I was and left me to die. Israel didn't know my location, but it knew where my captor's mother was and called to make sure she wasn't killed accidentally. There I was—kidnapped, starved and tortured by her son—while my army was trying to keep his mother alive."
