NYT analysis: AIPAC doubled political spending
And AIPAC's specific move—of stating that criticism of their political spending is actually an attack on all American Jews—is extremely dangerous, because it explicitly aims to make American Jews as a whole responsible for whatever AIPAC does.
Mikhail Gorbaechev97American Jewish communal institutions have been pulling this move repeatedly, and rather than undermine the efficacy or legitimacy of whatever thing they're challenging, they're just making people mad at Jews qua Jews. It's unbelievably counterproductive to fighting antisemitism.
Hamiltwan37One thing I would note is that the "I" in AIPAC does not stand for 'Jewish'
psvrh.bsky.social5Thank you. This is probably the best way I've seen this articulated.
Uh no. Haley Stevens is an establishment Dem who only cares about Israel, not the people of Michigan. It's why AIPAC is spending over 40 million on her campaign. It is time to stop with the "Blue No Matter Who" bullshit. That's how you get Fettermans and Schumers.
We should be fighting in the primaries to replace the Fettermans and Schumers, but they’re still better than the alternative. I’m all in for Abdul, but Stevens is still infinitely better than Mike Rogers
FE Avatar3Please stop with the revisionist history on Fetterman. He ran as a progressive. The "normie" establishment Dem in that race was Conor Lamb.
ladyelizadeath.bsky.social2It's time to leave do nothing Dems in the dust and vote for actual fighters who can speak truth to power and focus on what their constituents need.
jeremychi72.bsky.social1Stopping "Blue no matter who" is how we got Trump 2.0. Especially in Michigan.
drewbedooo.bsky.social1The worst Democrat is by far better than the best Republican.
NYT called it, STL left needs to start over because Bell is definitely vulnerable with his blatant AIPAC ties
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)23Missouri is looking like a tough nut to crack for the left after Bush's upset win in 2020, as Hartzell Gray is a distant third in this Red district despite support from the booming Kansas City DSA
Thomas HD6yep with someone with a better understanding of providing constituent servicies
Hyde T. Voltyge6Cori Bush anecdotes in insane shambles. Worst I've heard since Florida 2020 EDay probably
choo choo choose anger5She’s just not a good candidate. She got in office and it was immediately a mess. The people of STL have dealt with politicians like her for decades. Between that and not doing layup shit like just voting for big Biden initiatives, she spiked her own career.
