fuck AIPAC and fuck apartheid israel
noonehasthisoneyet
What’s crazy is there’s parts of our country that would call him a socialist and wouldn’t vote for this platform but they also don’t know what that means.
Momster13
All but one candidate on my ballot is an AIPAC tool. Makes me sick to vote for them.
kaijuuGold
always reject aipac
Mack1986
A fun thing to do would be accept aipac money once. Make a public show of it and donate that amount to Palestinian relief
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Gonna be honest: I don't much like Lander. A liberal Zionist is still a Zionist. Still, this is good news! I hope the DSA doesn't fuck it up by pivoting more to the centre. They're still not really a socialist party. They're social democrats. But they're a step in the right direction, which helps.

So which one is going to challenge Chuck Schumer?

Cue the Democrat Establishment's collective freakout in 5...4...3...2... *gestures*

So they won't kiss the wall and worship the genocidal israelis? /s

I wish I could see Michael Rappaport's face
BellsTheorem
Not sure if this was due to Mamdani's endorsement or just people fucking tired of a genocidal Israel running their city. Ether way congratulations NY.

One of the things I like about Mamdani is that his smile reaches his eyes.

TIL that accepting bribes is not mandatory in US politics
DarkZalgo
It's not, and most Democrats don't accept money from corporate PACs.

Unsurpisingly, effective goverance requires being able to engage with ones fellow governing people that present what they stand for, authentically.
Any time their goals are influenced, altered, or subverted by third-party influence, they become impossible to negotiate with.
The aspirant in me thinks that there's a world in which we can, as citizens, vote for people that will never be nefariously swayed from their governing objectives, and will represent their election promises with honesty.. 1/2

We just have to elect people with human emotions and not the money grubbing parasites that pervade our political system.
HackerWithYourUsernameAndPassword
Why not taking the AIPAC money and do something with it against their interests? Nobody have to refuse it because they won't donate again. They can't demands anything for it if it's a donation, right? Right?
bardman135
Generally, most people that win with AIPAC money needed it to win, so removing it suggests an imminent loss. Winning without it is proof of concept that there is hope.
RedDeadPrevention
The realist in me feels like everyone has their price and, until we remove the influence of capitalism on gevernance, nobody we elect can be trusted to follow through on 100% effort to achieve their purported objectives. 2/2

This is what the primaries are meant to combat. The billionaires all fund a bunch of candidates to see who stinks the least and then poof the other candidates suddenly poll lower and drop out.
The structure of modern American politics has to change.
pareidoliaperson
This is why I think whatever the fuck you're saying on interviews the logo of the lobby that sponsors you should be right there. A good step is already taken - I assume - since we can tell who takes AIPAC money and who isn't.
TheTojo15
Make them wear jackets like NASCAR so we know who owns them. Also can’t the politicians take the money and then just not do evil shit? What would the companies say?
“We tried to bribe them but they won’t play ball”

Mamdani is beginning to become one of the best fundraisers and backers on the dem side - even the other dems can't stop him. Can't even slow him down https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1b3g4dGVhaXRzamJmN3l1cDdsaGd2OXYzNjVjajF0OTIzbWJmbG81cyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/WO5Q7FsxJN2pjYc424/200w.webp

I fucking love this... but we should wait until there are some actual tough votes against the ruling class/large donors, before we start to spray champagne on each other. Until we see their voting track record from this day forward; I'm worried that there is going to be alot more John Fettermans and Kirsten Sinemas snuck in by AIPAC, while they are waving a Medicare for all flag.

Ah! Haha, it was supposed to DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) but I was trying to do 10 things at once while commenting, including correcting autocorrect. :D

Inb4 they pass a law to make it illegal to NOT accept AIPAC money bc otherwise its an unfair advantage or something

Oh i know. He's spare parts. Also ironically I pulled the article up anyways and there is an ad for dementia testing 😆
DocFunkenstein
I'll be honest: I'd accept their "donations" in a heart beat. Won't change one fucking iota of what I'd do or vote for, though. Sure, gimme free money.
Of course I don't understand why fucking someone automatically makes you a slave to their master's political influence, or whatever the fuck is going on with that shit either.
People are fucking weird.
netutoring
And how would YOU respond to someone taking hundreds of thousands of dollars and not doing what you want?
DocFunkenstein
Don't give a fuck.
BorkSamson
Oh no! Will the corrupt party of assasinations, racism, and constitutional corruption gonna get upset and kill someone?
What a shock!
Do it anyways and document every step so if it happens we can have names, locations, reasons, transactions and open/shut case the bastards.
NKato
They can walk, but it doesn't change the fact that if they got me elected, and that I'm about to pass some laws regulating their dumbass.
DudeThatsRacist
which is why you wouldn't get their money. They pay for puppets.
DocFunkenstein
"Yeah sure, I'll do that."
"But you said you'd do our evil shit!" "Yeah, I say a lot of shit to fucktards like you. Boohoo. Thanks for the donation though."
BorkSamson
Lol you got downvoted by an angry puppet.
Lemme upvote you back to visible so they can get more mad.
And theyd assassinate you if you took the money and flaked on them. But you should still do it because FUCK them. Eventually, when we can revive people from murder, when the tech exists, corruption will be so bad youll have to take their body to make sure they arent revived and testify against you. Gonna get nuts!
DocFunkenstein
Oh yeah, they'd totally do that!
Assassinations just going on left and right, man.
Yessir, for real tho!
BorkSamson
Lol I mean. They do happen. When successful they just look like accidents. It does happen.
Hes not wrong in the aspect that theyd try to fuck your life up in not legal ways or straight up arrange an accident for you. Hell, if you get big enough for going against the shadow society you might just be Kennedy'd in broad daylight.
But youll still be doing the right thing. Fuck em.
cheeriossuckbecause7
Good. Liberals helped create the problems we have. They sure as hell aren't going to fix those problems; there's too much money at stake.
BellsTheorem
The Democratic party needs to be transitioned into a progressive party.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
Its done. A new party is needed. Democrats are too far gone. I hope the DSA becomes an actual democratic socialist party and breaks off from the Dems.
BellsTheorem
So split the left into two much smaller parties. Not sure that will get the results you are looking for.
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
The US has no left wing parties. The Democratic Party needs to die.
BellsTheorem
There is a progressive wing to the Democratic party. It's mixed. Splitting it up at a crucial moment where democracy is under attack by the right is a losing strategy.
cheeriossuckbecause7
It does. It needs to rediscover what it once was, before it got transitioned into republican lite.
BellsTheorem
LOL Be careful about having the Democratic Party rediscover it's past. Google "The Southern Strategy".
phoenix0path
We all know the parties switched.
This isn't news to any but the trolls and MAGAts.
cheeriossuckbecause7
Thanks, but as a 20th century focused historian, I know a bit about that.

Getting to the point where, if AIPAC wants candidates, they'll have to get Nazis on the GQP side elected
Well
Okay
More Nazis - like attracts like, I see 😆

It still baffles me that the pro-nazi party is also pro-Isreal.
BellsTheorem
They are pro Israel for their Christo fascist agenda, they are 100% anti Jew.
Badprenup
Yeah they don't mind using Israel and Jewish people because they think it will bring The End Times ™️ where they will be elevated and anyone who isn't a white Christian (specific varieties only) will be put in Hell.
It's basically their "Final Solution" wet dream.
GratuaCuun
Brown people being killed - rights of the many packed into the guns of the few - jews being shipped out of the United States so Israel can profit off them (use them in the meat grinder, mainly)
Simply put - when it comes to being shitty mass murderers - right wingers align quite nicely with Israel these days
HardcoreMango
There's also no greater propagator of antisemitism than Israel.
