Democrats generally fold faster and easier than a wet paper towel. When your belief system is more or less fully transactional, you don’t become known for the strength of your convictions. So pardon me if I’m more than skeptical about a defeated primary candidate, or even the House minority leader himself, suddenly trying to talk tough about the DSA takeover happening inside their own party.

Let’s start with Rep. Haley Stevens.

She lost Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, and this week, on Fox News’ “The Sunday Briefing,” she said what a lot of nervous Democrats are apparently thinking out loud now that a new poll shows El-Sayed trailing Republican Mike Rogers by four points and underperforming with Black voters, women, and suburban voters compared to Kamala Harris’s 2024 numbers.

“It certainly makes sense to get rid of this Hasan Piker affiliation,” Stevens said, before pivoting back to insisting the party’s platform still beats the Republicans’.

“It certainly makes sense.”

Hasan Piker is the streamer who has said he wants to “wipe his a– with the Constitution” and that “the United States should go f— itself.” El-Sayed campaigned poolside with him at a Detroit party for content creators just weeks........
