Why we’re leaving El-Sayed’s spot on the ballot blank | Opinion [from democratic party members] (eu.detroitnews.com)

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.

Man who hasn't been politically relevant since losing 40%-55% a decade ago has something to say? In the editorials of a right-wing local newspaper?

Holy shit bang the drums, I can't believe the Dems would do that to El-Sayed, what a betrayal!!!!

If actual party members publish a piece in an actual newspaper about how they're not gonna vote dem it's no big deal, but when someone writes a comment on lemmy about how they wouldn't vote newsom you get the whole gang screeching at you and possibly banned 😂
