    AIPAC solidifies that they own America.

    This was a signal to every politician thinking of dissenting from Israel

    Remind me why it’s legal for a foreign government to fund election campaigns in the U.S. against it’s critics? When mbs ordered the killing of Jamaal Kashogi, and people were outraged, did we let him pay for the election campaign of his critics opponent? Who’s Saudi Arabia’s candidate in congress this year? how about China’s? Russia’s?

    Remember when Bernie almost won and only took transparent, U.S. based small money donations? Remember what it was like to have a candidate that you actually trusted?

      Don’t forget who endorsed the conservative…

      Hillary Clinton endorses George Latimer in challenge to unseat Jamaal Bowman

      Democrats fight harder against progressives in their own party than they fight against the Republican policy they are elected to suppress.

        See also former progressive Mondaire Jones.

        Jones in 2020: “defund the police!” votes to impeach fascist American president

        Jones in 2024: “Hooray for the fascist apartheid regime currently committing genocide! So progressive!”

    This race was closer than I thought. He lost 45k to 40k. Yeah it’s still a sizable margin, but I was thinking it’d be by 10-15k votes.
