This is what the democratic party members Lon Johnson, a former Michigan Democratic Party chair, and David Kramer, a longtime Democratic strategist who has previously helped elect Democrats to the Senate, say after their candidate lost. Both supported Rep. Haley Stevens (per https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/opinion/columnists/nolan-finley/2026/10/16/dem-leaders-urge-party-to-vote-none-of-the-above-in-senate-race-finley/92269640007/). These are the people that would rally "party unity" to ensure a republican defeat if their zionist candidate had won. Despicable.

Another example of centrist democrats doing the work of the donor classes.
