Michigan Democratic Party chair Curtis Hertel made it crystal clear on Sunday that Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) was no longer welcome in the state’s Democratic party.

Hertel posted to X after Stevens yanked her support from Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D) and gave it to his Republican challenger, “Congresswoman Stevens is not a current member of the Michigan Democratic Party, nor will she be in the future.”

          Centrism is often far-right pretending to be rational and pragmatic.

          We have the same ones in France.

          When you learn about American history, centrism has always been genocide with competent PR. Even Carter, who did sone ok foreign policy things in regard to Haiti armed Indonesia while they committed a genocide.

      Her values are “I say whatever horrible shit I want, and how dare you give me the slightest pushback for it, now you’ve made me betray everything i claimed to stand for and support the person whose party literally wants to strip my gender of its personhood…That’ll show you!"”
