一名密歇根州的前民主党社会主义者组织成员就美国政坛的极端主义发出严厉警告，并抨击极左进步派民主党参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德不诚实且“伪善”。
“我认为每个人都不能袖手旁观，民主党人、共和党人、无党派人士，我们都需要行动起来，”杰克·奥特曼告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我们都应该支持热爱这个国家、愿意为密歇根民众谋福祉的候选人。我们绝不能陷入这种宗派政治。我担心的是，民主党左翼已经将真主党的政治理念引入美国，而我们如今正承受着由此引发的宗派主义恶果。”
曾在多个工会任职的奥特曼表示，民主党社会主义者组织在2014年至2015年左右开始吸纳包括马克思主义者和列宁主义者在内的极端极左派系。
他声称，当时类似的极左势力正控制工会，企图将善意的工人当作更大规模政治斗争的棋子，以推动民主党进一步左倾。也就是在那段时间，他退出了该运动，他表示该组织如今已“极易被极端分子夺权”。

“这不是美国，”他说。“我们想要……一个包容广泛的美国。我们想要多元主义。我们不想彼此剑拔弩张。我只是认为——我们必须站出来对这种情况说‘不’。”
民主党社会主义者组织与民主党之间的紧张关系已达到沸点，密歇根州的情况尤为明显——埃尔赛义德曾在竞选活动中与社会主义主播哈森·皮克称兄道弟，目前他在争取民主党温和派支持其参选方面面临困难。

“我见过阿卜杜勒好几次，”奥特曼说。“他父亲担任我曾供职的美国大学教授协会地方分会主席时，我和他共事过。所以我想我对这个人有相当充分的了解。”
阿卜杜勒的父亲穆罕默德·埃尔赛义德是东密歇根大学的工程学教授，曾任该校美国大学教授协会分会主席，并在2022年领导了教师罢工。
“在最近的民主党提名代表大会上，也就是今年4月那场引发争议的密歇根民主党提名代表大会，阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德认出了我，”奥特曼继续说道，并澄清他指的是4月的那次民主党代表大会。“当时我正站在排队区域，他认出了我，还问我‘为什么这么恨他？’，因为在那之前我一直批评他的竞选活动。”

奥特曼表示，阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德当时称他的竞选“不会那样做”，显然是在声称自己的竞选活动不会进行政治抹黑。

“我们看得出来，这个人说话不直截了当，他不是个诚实的中间人，”奥特曼说。“他自己也曾说过，我支持的那位初选对手连两句连贯的话都说不出来。我的意思是，说他自己能置身事外简直是无稽之谈。他是民主党政坛最伪善的人，考虑到该党内有不少伪善之人，这评价确实一针见血。”
至于民主党社会主义者组织，奥特曼表示该组织与十年前相比已面目全非。
“过去那代成员非常包容，属于更广泛的自由主义传统，以建设性方式与民主党合作，而非像如今这样以破坏性方式行事，”奥特曼解释道。
他说，这一传统的一部分就是彻底拒绝共产主义。但最近，该组织投票解除了对列宁主义者的禁令，导致极端主义在组织内部蔓延。

“我们在2025年8月看到，民主党社会主义者组织在代表大会上投票取消了禁止列宁主义者在组织内活动的规定，”他说。“这已经再清楚不过了。”
他痛批现任民主党社会主义者组织联合主席梅根·罗默，称其为“马列主义者”和“古巴政权的粉丝”。

罗默去年曾随40人组成的极左团体前往古巴，在那里她称赞这个共产主义国家“注重关怀而非生产”，将该国的粮食短缺和大规模移民归咎于美国的封锁，并声称古巴拥有“世界上最友好的 LGBTQ+ 群体宪法”。
与此同时，阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德仍在努力争取温和派民主党人的支持，同时在决定民主党能否重掌参众两院任何一院或两院的2026年中期选举中，迎战共和党前国会议员迈克·罗杰斯。

埃尔赛义德一直因与皮克的关联受到质疑，初选期间他曾邀请皮克参与竞选活动。他拒绝谴责皮克，反而将其斥为“来自加州的主播”，称其与密歇根州竞选毫无关联。

皮克在2019年曾称“美国活该遭遇9·11”，还称赞过毛泽东和共产主义中国，声称应在街头处决资本家，并发表了一系列反犹太言论。

Former DSA member slams Abdul El-Sayed, political left over extremist policies
A former member of the Democratic Socialists of America who abandoned what he views as a party that’s drifted too far leftward says Abdul El-Sayed isn’t an “honest broker.”

A former member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) who lives in Michigan issued a dire warning against extremism in American politics, and ripped far-left, progressive Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed as dishonest and “sanctimonious.”
“So, I think that it’s up to everyone to not sit on their hands, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, we all need to be out there,” Jake Altman told Fox News Digital. “We all need to be supporting candidates who love this country, who want to deliver for Michiganders. We should not be leaning into this sectarian politics. My fear is we’ve seen the left wing of the Democratic Party import the politics of Hezbollah into the United States, and now we’re living with the sectarian aftermath of that.”
Altman, who formerly worked for several labor unions, said the DSA began adding fanatical far-left factions, including Marxists and Leninists, around 2014 and 2015.
He claimed that at the time, similar far-left actors were taking control of labor unions, intending to use well-meaning workers as pawns in a much larger political battle to push the Democratic Party further left. That was about the time he left the movement, which he said has become “very susceptible to extremist takeover.”

“That’s not America,” he said. “We want… a broad, tolerant America. We want pluralism here. We don’t want to be at each other’s throats. I’m just — we have to stand up and say ‘no’ to this.”
Tensions between the DSA and Democratic Party have reached a boiling point — nowhere more evident than in Michigan — where El-Sayed, who has palled around with socialist streamer Hasan Piker on the campaign trail, is facing difficulty rallying the party’s moderates in support of his candidacy.

“So, I’ve met Abdul several times,” said Altman. “I worked very closely with his dad when his dad was union president of the AAUP local I worked for. So I have, you know, I think I have a pretty good read on the guy.”
Mohamed El-Sayed, Abdul’s father, is an engineering professor at Eastern Michigan University, where he served as president of the school’s AAUP chapter and led a faculty strike in 2022.
“When I was at the Democratic Party convention, the recent Democratic Party nominating convention, [Abdul El-Sayed] recognized me,” Altman continued, clarifying that he was referring to April’s contentious Michigan Democratic Party endorsement convention. “He was working a line that I was standing in, and he recognized me, and he asked me, ‘why all the hate?’ ’cause I had been critical of the campaign up to that point.”

Altman said Abdul El-Sayed told him that his campaign “doesn’t do that,” apparently claiming that his campaign wasn’t engaged in political mudslinging.

“We see that the guy is not a straight shooter, he’s not an honest broker,” said Altman. “He, himself, said that his primary opponent, who I was supporting, couldn’t string two coherent sentences together. I mean, the idea that he is somehow above it all is just not true. He’s the most sanctimonious man in Democratic Party politics, and that’s going a long way because there’s a lot of sanctimony in that party.”
As for the DSA, according to Altman, it is unrecognizable compared to just a decade ago.
“So, you had this older generation that was very tolerant, part of a broader liberal tradition, engaged in a productive way with the Democratic Party, not a destructive way as we see today,” Altman explained.
Part of that tradition, he said, was a total rejection of communism. But recently, the party voted to lift its ban on Leninists, allowing the proliferation of extremism among the party ranks.

“We’ve seen in August 2025 that DSA at the convention voted to remove its prohibition on having Leninists operating within the organization,” he said. “I mean, it doesn’t get any clearer than this.”
He bemoaned current DSA co-Chair Megan Romer, whom he described as a “Marxist-Leninist” and “fan of the Cuban regime.”
HOW THE ‘LONG MARCH’ THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS LED TO SOCIALIST TAKEOVER OF DEM PARTY: ‘NEED TO WAKE UP’
Romer traveled to Cuba last year with a group of 40 far-leftists, where she hyped the communist country as “care-focused vs. production-focused,” blamed the United States’ blockade for the country’s food shortages and mass emigration, and said the country has “the most LGBTQ-friendly constitution in the world.”
Meanwhile, Abdul El-Sayed continues his attempts to try to win over moderate Democrats while also campaigning against Republican former congressman Mike Rogers ahead of the crucial 2026 midterms that will determine whether Democrats regain control of either or both chambers of Congress.

Abdul El-Sayed has been dogged by questions about his affiliation with Piker, whom he invited on the campaign trail during primary season. He has refused to condemn Piker, choosing instead to brush him off as a “streamer from California” who has little connection with the Michigan race.

Piker said in 2019 that “America deserved 9/11,” and has also praised Mao Zedong and Communist China, said capitalists should be murdered in the streets and spewed a litany of antisemitic comments.
