Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

As you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign, and that I should stay away. And he’s right. And that’s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today

So her official reasoning is effectively "my ego was hurt so I'm with the fascists now"? Insane.

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 29 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Did he really say she wasn’t welcome? Or did he just refuse to give into her ultimatum to apologize for remarks about Israel? I guess for the “vote blue no matter who” crowd the blue is the Israeli flag.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

She's not coming completely out of left field, but it was much less "you're not welcome here" and much more "if you're only interested in relitigating the primary and sabotaging my campaign, I'd prefer that you didn't."

[–] rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 days ago

No, it is about her being a zionazi just like Mike

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Clearly she was always with them

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 60 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Chief of Staff has now quit along with her communications manager and most of her other staff.

https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/haley-stevens-staffers-quit-en-masse-after-her-stunning-flip-on-abdul-el-sayed-we-are-shocked-and-heartbroken/

“As Haley Stevens’s chief of staff for eight years, I speak on behalf of our team in wholeheartedly supporting Abdul El-Sayed for Senate. This election is too important to sow divisions or stand on the sidelines. We are shocked and heartbroken by Congresswoman Stevens’s decision to support Mike Rogers. Those of us who are Michigan voters are supporting Democrats up and down the ballot, have been working all season long to elect strong Democratic majorities to the House and Senate, and we will continue to do so. As of this morning, many members of our team have resigned, including myself. We encourage everyone to exercise their civic duty, vote for Democrats up and down the ballot and stand up for the America we all believe in.”

Stevens played the stupid game, so may she enjoy every stupid prize she has coming to her...

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago

I'm sure her prize from Israel was extensive

[–] return2ozma@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

We dodged another John Fetterman!

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Stevens doesn’t even have a stroke to blame this decision on.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)
[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh shit! That’s terrible! I hope he has a speedy recovery and doesn’t become a Republican 😬

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

You and me both!

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It's so wild...we've got ancient pharohs and turtles still kicking, but Chris Murphy who's leading investigations into the regime has a sudden stroke at 53? Wild.

Wasn't there a documentary about Kushner paying a bunch of people like a former hitman or something?

On Thursday Mike Rogers announced his support for a nationwide abortion ban so we can assume that Haley Stevens also supports a nationwide abortion ban.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

She's good with that as long as she can keep supporting the killing of babies in Gaza.

[–] rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago

She slave to israel, not surprised

[–] Cheese_man@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

A pathetic cry baby just like the country she supports over her own.

"Israel comes to me in my dreams!"

Conservatives have infiltrated every level of the Dem party, often masquerading as progressives.

In unrelated news: Exterminating cockroaches is sometimes needed when dealing with an infestation.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Proof that establishment Democrat NeoLiberals.... Are just Republicans.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Proof that she is just a Republican. The democrats are disavowing her.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Only because this move is so egregious they couldn’t ignore it. They were dragging their feet to support El Sayed until just recently.

[–] Nautalax@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They brought in Obama to endorse and campaign for El Sayed

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

And Pelosi and other establishment Dems had to get a phone call from Obama to fall in fucking line.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Knowing who she turned out to be, that kinda sounds like a feather in El-Sayed's cap.

Should probably be required reading, but naturally it never will be:

So centrist Democrats social media, what do you have to say about this now?

ETA: Hilarious. Seeing downvotes and only a single response. Where my vocal centrists that tell me vote blue no matter who and that ridicule the comment that centrists are Republican-lite all the time at?

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Seems that across the board, the message is that she's a cunt.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Sure, a hand picked cunt selected represent the main stream centrist Democrat them in the primary.

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Not any more. She's out now that she's done this. I'm not sure what else you could want. They didn't have a time machine.
