This is serious stuff, and it requires a concerted response from the Trump administration. 👇

Real Jews support Abdul El-Sayed. Genocidal Zionists support Rogers.
NYT: The letter, signed by more than 500 people who identify as Jewish leaders or voters in Michigan, says that the election of Abdul El-Sayed, is “clearly the better choice for Jews” compared with Trump MAGA Republican Mike Rogers.

LISTEN TO ME: Stevens' move isn't an anomaly - it's a warning that Corporate Dems will side with MAGA and destroy their own party if that's what preserves their power.
And they're gonna get worse if Dems win Congress.
The election won't be the end. It's the beginning.

Something tells me that if it was a leftist who endorsed a MAGA freak -- like if Francesca Hong acted like Haley Stevens, rather than going all out to support Dems, as she's done -- we wouldn't have Dem elites going on CNN lamenting how she's "struggling" and urging empathy.
Why is David Axelrod talking about Haley Stevens like she just narrowly survived a fent overdose? 😭

Okay so now we are being told that Haley Stevens is a victim of partner abuse so she is not responsible for her actions?

This is paywalled. But I agree you do want to read it. One of the things it notes is a chilling/disturbing moment when Jason Turkish, Stevens' fiance, berates her in front of others for not being hardcore enough against AES. I suspect we're going to hear more abt this.
I talked to former Gov. Jim Blanchard about an hour ago. He had a unique view of Stevens' last 48 hours, having had dinner with her and her fiance, Jason Turkish, on Friday. You want the details? Here they are, and, trust me, you're going to want to read.

this person was 13k votes away from being the dem nominee, i never want to hear about candidate selection from the consultants on here ever again
here's the entirety of the seeming mental breakdown Haley Stevens just had on CNN. One of the most bizarre and incoherent political interviews I can recall. Note how she's completely unable to explain why she changed her mind from supporting Abdul El-Sayed last night to endorsing Mike Rogers today.

I'm transitioning rapidly from, will the Democrats pull off a Blue Wave, to, will the American left be ready to use electoral victories as a springboard to making fundamental societal/economic changes? Electing left candidates, DSA or otherwise, is just a first baby step.
