House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi criticized El-Sayed on a recent episode of the On Brand podcast. Host Donny Deutsch claimed El-Sayed had made “concerning” comments opposing the existence of a Jewish state. “That’s antisemitic as far as I’m concerned,” he said.

“No, it’s more than concerning. It’s wrong,” Pelosi said. “It’s wrong, and it isn’t a reflection of the Democrats in the Congress of the United States. This new person in Michigan, we’ll see if he gets elected to the Congress.”

…

Again, with Stevens, we see Democrats placing continued support for Israel before the success of their own party and their own constituents. Is it any wonder that Stevens lost?

    The better question is why this community is full of shitty articles talking about how bad the democrats are right before the midterms.

    I swear it’s right-wing and Russia propaganda.

            You’re trying to depress the vote turn out so the republican can spend two more years dismantling the government, taking away human rights and straight up killing peopke they disagree with.

                I am supporting the only party who have a chance to remove the republicans from power.

                By not supporting the only party who have a chance to remove the republicans from power you are supporting the republicans and their policies.

                  The article talk about Nancy sabotaging a democrat so his republican oponent wins , then you have the audacity to claim that you oppose republicans and that you want democrats to win. You are supporting the democrats that want Republicans to win

                    It gives attention and air time to the party wing who do little more than hold the status quo and maybe send some angry letters. Letting others hear their claims of how bad the prog members are is counter productive in the same way airing the attack ads from Republicans would be.

        Two out of two hundred and fourteen.

        Not even one percent of them.

        I can’t wait until midterms when the ‘democrats bad’ crowd crawl under a rock for another two years.

          We both know it’s more than 2

          I can wait until midterms when the ‘democrats bad’ crowd crawl under a rock for another two years.

          They’d go away if the dems stopped actively being terrible

            They’re the only party with a chance against the republicans.

            I’d much rather have Trump’s power limited and start working with a party that has a chance than what we’re doing now.

              So you are actually upset the dems are terrible and just angry at people acknowledging it?

              Attacking those that want them to be better isn’t the way to win

                I’m not attacking anyone I’m saying what you and people like you are doing a couple days before the midterms is self-defeating unless you want Trump to keep power over the next two years.

                  And this was you calling anyone criticizing the dems for being extremely dumb Russian propaganda.

                  I’m not attacking anyone I’m saying what you and people like you are doing a couple days before the midterms is self-defeating unless you want Trump to keep power over the next two years.

                  Again the dems continuous failures and losses to republicans are entirely on them not the ones calling out their spectacular ability to snatch defeat from certain victory. Burying heads in the sand to avoid that is what continues the shit cycle

      Why are democrats talking about how bad their candidate is? If they weren’t doing that this article wouldn’t exist and we wouldn’t be talking about it.

      Maybe don’t run defense for the group actively trying to sabotage the midterms.

      Stevens and the moderates are the ones decreasing turnout, that’s the entire point. They would rather dems lose, than lose control of the party.
