Whatever happened to the Democrats? Party of FDR, Kennedy and Clinton. Idealistic, moderate, gave a vague impression of actually liking the United States. That pragmatic, patriotic party is scarcely discernible from the hideous creature that stands before us. The far left has hollowed out the Democrats and now parades in their freshly flayed skin, like a keffiyeh-clad Buffalo Bill.
Overnight results from the Michigan senate primary are still coming in, but Congresswoman Haley Stevens, a mainstream liberal, is trailing Abdul El-Sayed, an epidemiologist and part of the leftist insurgency taking over the Democratic party. El-Sayed campaigned alongside Hasan Piker, a radical Twitch streamer who says ‘America deserved 9/11’, calls the actions of the Houthis ‘not only moral, but… just’, and states he ‘would vote for Hamas over Israel every single time’.
In one diatribe, he said: ‘[A]ny kind of fucking Zionist tendency should be treated in the same way as being a fucking rabid neo-Nazi… You shouldn’t even let someone be the fucking local dog catcher… if they’ve ever exhibited any sort of… positive feelings about the state of Israel.’
Not so long ago, maybe a decade or so, association with someone like Piker would be career-ending for a Democratic politician. Today, it’s a vote-winner, an indication of how extremist the party’s base has grown.
