A reader letter argues that the Democratic Party treated Michigan Representative Haley Stevens unfairly after she supported the Republican challenger to Abdul El-Sayed. The writer contends that the party’s hostility toward Stevens was unjust because she opposed anti-Israel sentiment, while the Democrats simultaneously embrace socialists with radical policy goals. The letter criticizes the party for claiming to be a broad coalition while excluding a member who speaks out against hatred of Israel.

Background

• Abdul El-Sayed won the U.S. Senate race in Michigan this week.
• Representative Haley Stevens endorsed El-Sayed’s Republican opponent during the campaign.
• The letter lists specific socialist policy positions, such as defunding police and eliminating the Senate, as examples of the party’s current ideological breadth.
• The author, Julius L. Loeser, is based in Chicago.
