    You’re the one materially incorrect if you’re saying a handful of primary voters holds a fucking candle to AIPAC money and the Israeli lobbying apparatus.

    You can weirdly argue Biden “let” people die all you want, but at the end of the day that’s not the opinion a majority of voters hold. It’s also not the top priority in their life right now, regardless of their opinion of Gaza. Any lost margin you think was represented in those primaries is ignorantly cute compared to the Israeli lobby on both sides, the Jewish vote and other folks with designs on the region.

    Bottom line there’s almost a century of US foreign policy involved, combined with decades of republicans fucking up the region, combined with liberal politics, combined with a fucked up election.

    The way things are, a handful of primary voters are a fart in the wind right now. They would do better to elect progressives to local elections and the House of Representatives than to sink a democratic president. One who has already worked with and championed progressives but also… you know has to lead a country of 100s of millions of people with different opinions.

      Sorry, U should correct that; he directly provides the funding and weapons to massacre children.

      Ask Summer Lee and her constituents what she thinks if AIPAC wasting millions to try and unseat her, lol.

      The era of AIPAC is coming to the end, people are becoming aware that they play both sides and they’re soon going the wat if the NRA.
