Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s former opponent in the Michigan Senate primary, Haley Stevens, is appearing with Republican candidate Mike Rogers at a Detroit church after intraparty tensions have boiled over days before the election.

The appearance comes after the congresswoman was uninvited to a joint event Sunday with El-Sayed, who defeated her by a slim margin in the August primary.

Stevens has been critical of El-Sayed’s comments surrounding Israel. Her fiance said last week he was voting for Rogers, claiming El-Sayed had not done enough to address concerns of the Jewish community.

This is just more confirmation that the right candidate won. Losing the primary and then supporting the republican is some scummy shit.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 23 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Fucking toddler throwing a tantrum vibe.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

I think they're showing their true self. Would have another Fetterman.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

She definitely spat her pacifier and threw all her toys out of the stroller.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

Israel is paying her handsomely im sure

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly, the party should do her a favor. Permanently kick her from it.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago
[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 55 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I am a Democrat in Michigan and the first thing i am doing tomorrow morning is calling every goddamn number I can find and insist they kick Haley out of the fucking party.

She's a rat-fuck traitor.

[–] yonderbarn@lazysoci.al 35 points 1 week ago (3 children)

We just dodged a potential Kyrsten Sinema.

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

She and her horse-faced fiance are mid-manic burndown of everything. She going full-on Bonnie and Clydesdale.

Or a John Fetterman.

[–] Major_Tsiom@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Absolutely. It was a tight race too. The monster just took its mask off.

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Ummm. I guess you don't need to.

(Chair of the Michigan Democratic Party)

[–] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

State party, good start.

I want to see the same statement from Jeffries. Take away her D label in congress. Take away her caucus vote, her committee seats. You can't allow treachery like this. It would be like a gang allowing undercover cops in their ranks.

[–] thecaptaintrout@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Same, please share any numbers you find please. This is just disgusting on top of all her other BS

[–] Number_103@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago

While I could come up with well reasoned arguments against Rogers, you really only need one: HE DOESN’T FUCKING LIVE IN MICHIGAN.

He can fuck off back to Florida where he belongs, and Stevens can go with him.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He is a real threat to the establishment. Unlike Mamdani, he was born here (*meaning, he can become president). He's actually a medical doctor, and he tells the truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmodf-lNGEE

[–] Blibly@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This woman and her husband are evil. They want to subject this country to further fascist descent for a paycheck from their owners. Those same owners are in the epstein files and part of a broader circle of powerful perverts and slavers.

Stevens, Rogers, Trump, Thiel, Musk, Netanyahu, Barak, Wexler...all joined together. This is who we're dealing with.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

When I read her campaign site, it was just a bunch of generic feel good happy bullshit without any specific stances or commitments. That's when I knew I was voting for El-Sayed in the primary. Glad I was able to see through her worthless bullshit. Go fuck yourself sideways, Hailey. I voted today and couldn't be happier to cast mine for El-Sayed.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

More than appearing with, she's now given a full on Mike Rogers endorsement.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the central philosophy of "centrism". Whenever you vote for a centrist, this is who you are voting for.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago

Centrists are santa claus - obvious bullshit meant to dupe children.

Sure as presents come from mom, every adult knows centrists are actually right wingers.

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Remember to VOTE BLUE no matter WHO!

-Haley Stevens (D) who's CAMPAIGNING with Mike Rodgers (R)!

[–] zoloftt@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Can't tell if sarcasm...

Edit: WHY do you COMMENT like THIS? I was trying to understand if you were being sarcastic or not and your comment history is full of EMPHASIS via CAPS

[–] Blackfeathr@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a novelty account, so it's sarcasm.

[–] zoloftt@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If Satansmaggotycumfart is any indicator, then I never know when it's "novelty" or novelty...

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It's said that if you say Satan's name three times in the mirror, they'll come out and mock you for your bad takes.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

BigMacHole has kept the snark flowing freely for years at this point. I think.

Best to let it just wash over you rather than think about it

Edit: 7mo?? Must be a new instance, yeah?

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I guess this is meant to cast Stevens as a generic avatar of "centrist"-death-mask-wearing conservatives who demand unconditional support from progressives if they win but won't give it back if they lose?

But I don't know if Stevens said or demanded that, so it's a bit confusing, and could also be read to attack the phrase "vote blue no matter who." Which is a turnoff since it mimics right-wing sarcastic comments meant to mock democratic voters who vote for "least evil" dem candidates over fascist right candidates - i.e., intended left turnout suppression. So seems like the novelty bit is getting in the way of actual, you know, communication.

Those were just some of my hilarious, important thoughts on the inherently funny topic of sober, lengthy deconstruction of comedy. (That was sarcasm, if such a thing can possibly work without all caps.) (That was also sarcasm. /s) (Despite the "/s," that last one wasn't sarcasm.) (Feeling good about this one.)

[–] zoloftt@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, I had to ask, because Stevens isn't the candidate you're voting for... So vote blue no matter who ™️/s doesn't quite hit because she got primary'd.

Which is WHY PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES

Whoops, too many caps this time

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

No no, the caps made me understand your sarcasm!

Wait, no, sorry.

No NO, the CAPS made me understand your SARCASM!

Oh, that's better.

But I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. And neither were you! DAMN IT.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago

I have to say, as a very selfish European looking for entertainment (and outright ignoring the larger geopolitical effects), US politics keep not disappointing. The pettiness and self-sabotage is just... brilliant.

(From the outside. I'm very aware that it fucking sucks from the inside.)

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] Catma@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Thats an insult to cunts. She lacks the depth and warmth

[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago
[–] apftwb@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Remember the day before the NYC mayoral election when Trump endorsed Andrew Como who was running as a spoiler candidate against Mamdani? I see similaries.

Good job Michigan for not letting Haley Stevens win the primary. We cannot afford another John Fetterman in the Senate.

[–] likebudda@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago

Sore losers gonna loser.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

What turnoil? She's a sideshow.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It doesn't help that Democrat leaders of the party have refused to endorse him

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They work for AIPAC

[–] rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Something is wrong in you. If an white supremacist like Tucker say I would never vote for Roger but a democrat would

[–] Corvidae@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

This is why the Separation of Church and State is so important.

[–] Suavevillain@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

She is a great real time example of why the Who part of voting Blue Matters. I'll won't support AIPAC shills like her. Her using Black voters as a prop for the endorsement was nasty work.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

What a piece of shit

[–] bw42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

She was a piece of shit before. This isn't surprising.

Told her primary campaign to fuck off on the isreali dick it rode in on when they spammed me for support.

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

We should have insulted her voice more. Chris Farley looking brother-fucker.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Fat lot of good it did them.
