Foreign interference in US elections works.
Congratulations to all pro-genocide centrists. Netanyahu bought you a candidate.
EDIT: three articles about this so far. When anti-genocide candidates lose, this community is where the party’s at.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s political action committee spent nearly $15 million on the primary, filling airwaves and mailboxes with negative ads in an effort to unseat Bowman, who has accused the influential pro-Israel lobbying group of trying to buy the race.
“The outcome in this race once again shows that the pro-Israel position is both good policy and good politics — for both parties,” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee said in a statement.
15 fucking million dollars, and AIPAC claims this primary shows voters support Israel…
Fuck any politician who takes a dime in bribes from a foreign country. I’m never voting for anyone that takes AIPAC money, regardless of what letter is by their name.
It’s a big tent, but it doesn’t have room for genocide.

Evidently, it doesn’t have room for opposition to genocide.
Latimer pulled in the endorsement of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Holy shit just fuck off to obscurity you POS. Nobody wants to hear from you. All the power you’ve wielded and you’ve done NOTHING good with it. Americas marge thatcher
Hey now Margret Thatcher did at least two good things, protected the Falklands from Argentina and died. Hillary Clinton has done neither.
Americas marge thatcher
Wasn’t that Reagan?
Ok, so she’s America’s FEMALE Maggie and should go to her farm and stay there.

Once again Democrats back and push for a conservative in the primary. Really fucking sad and why I’ll never donate to the party ever again.
Aipac isn’t “Dems”. Fucking moron.
I’m sorry, Hillary Clinton and Josh Gottheimer says what? Fucking moron.
Can’t wait until old conservative Democrats go the way of the dodo and I can actually feel good about voting for Democrats again.
Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be plenty of young conservative Democrats we can be disappointed about.
Yeah, probably, and unfortunately probably from my generation no less. Still, even with my generation they’re significantly less neo-liberal than these old ass blue dogs and then not having such an outsized influence would still be greatly welcomed by me.
As we see from this election, it doesn’t really matter what their views are. The people who are really in charge ($$$) can just dump money into any election, and I’m sure they can find someone who’ll toe the corporate line for a big pile of money.
No argument about that, money is the bane of politics and will remain that way until we collectively get rid of this bribery and corruption.
Dem leadership silently smiling and counting their money.
Just another example of how, if you’re even marginally out of the mainstream of politics, you will be perpetually disappointed with our government.
Bowman should run as an independent.
It’s a 17 point spread. Unless he can get an entire section of voters to flip it’s wasted money and effort. In the general election the republicans there would be easily convinced to vote for the Dem’s guy.
Or worse yet, they split the vote and a solid blue seat sends a Republican to Congress with 35-40% of the vote. I just love FPTP!
That’s why the Dems let AIPAC pick the most racist conservative candidate they could find willing to run blue. In a general election red voters might actually struggle there.
Are there odds this guy flips to being an R if he wins the general?
Doubtful. He’s very far left of the modern GOP on almost all other issues. Third line on his website is his gender pronouns.
Anyone with a functional brain in far left of the modern MAGA pro-fascist pro-grifter GOP.
Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been duped by a “leftist” as soon as the $5 bills come out

That’ll happen when one candidate outspends the other 7 to 1 with the blood money of a fascist apartheid regime currently committing genocide and the endorsement of the establishment.
Taking money from AIPAC isn’t any better than taking money from the Russian or Saudi governments.
