It seems to have coincided with El-Sayed uninviting her from a campaign appearance on Sunday, after which she appears to have then decided to go endorse Rogers instead. Someone else linked an article in this comment section where they reached out to the mich. dems right after the sunday endorsement and it’s they had already kicked her out, so either they got to it crazy promptly or they’d ousted her amid all the outright hostility between her and El-Sayed.
(Sorry if that’s badly worded, I am still super hungover pls be kind)
Makes sense lol. It did seem really quick so your story did track, I just also could see it being the final straw and a very quick process because it was foreseen, and was trying to figure it out
Exactly. Schumer – the epitome of a corporate Dem – supported Stevens in the primary, and today is calling her flip a “despicable betrayal,” but until today his support for El-Sayed as the Dem candidate has only ever been unenthusiastic at best.
I mean that’s fairly honest from him. He doesn’t like the idea of the party moving left, but he knows it’s better then republicans destroying us all with their gigafascist tilt. Today he also said he was in support of AES, in response to the Stevens situation.
After Stevens’ open defection he had no choice. If he doesn’t, he gets outed too, because he supported her so strongly in the primary.
Or to put it another way, she put a shiv in El-Sayed’s back, sure, but it could be argued that it was a much bigger shiv in Schumer’s back.
El-Sayed is surrounded by enemies of all kinds who are united in keeping the status quo unchanged. Schumer is not, and willingly brought the weight and power of his own position to help Stevens.
In the end Stevens is just more water off the back of El-Sayed, who is making his own way regardless of all those coming at him, always has, and he was not thrown off his own course in the slightest. On the other hand, Schumer is struggling in a number of ways.
So it begs the question: who bears the greater betrayal? It would have been very odd if Schumer had not vocally supported El-Sayed today. He may well need that favor back in days to come.
Anyone “stunned” by corporate Democrats being DINOs isn’t paying attention.
Even the dems are sick of her shit - they kicked her out of the party right before she made this endorsement.
Oh shit, I thought it was after
From what I read, the announcement was after but the actual kicking-out was right before.
Weird, if that’s the case I’m curious as to why she was kicked out. Though everything I’m seeing is implying that endorsing Rogers was the final straw

Good luck with the hangover!
Yeah, my inner gossip hopes we get more details but eeh I’m sure there will be far more chaos to distract us.
And thank you! Liquid-IV to the rescue…
Ahh, spiteful bitch syndrome
