The Democratic Party’s sweeping victories in the 2026 midterm elections have given Democrats their usual “we will never lose again” sense of confidence. As a result, the party is about to undergo a Palestinian purity-test purge of members who are not sufficiently left-wing for the activist base, with Democrats certain that cutting a few members won’t come back to bite them in the future.
The most obvious target of this is Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who has enraged Democrats by not supporting Palestinian terrorists or communists and by occasionally saying nice things about Republicans. Although Fetterman is a reliable Democratic vote, akin to Sens. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) in that respect, Democrats want him gone, primarily for his opposition to antisemitic terrorist sympathizers such as Sen.-elect Abdul el Sayed (D-MI).
