This was also a D primary, so everyone had a D by their name.

My point was Bowman's opponent took 14 million from a foreign government to support their genocide

He has a D by his name, but he's a piece of shit. If the party has standards he wouldn't be in the party

But the party doesn't have standards, because the party leaders take AIPAC money too.

Like, I thought it was pretty clear already, is it making sense yet?

Yup, what's important for people to understand is that AIPAC is the single largest source of GOP money in Democratic primaries and campaigns.

They take money from right-wing billionaires and use it to back right-wing Democrats who they know can be relied upon to be obstructionist.

AIPAC funding needs to be banned within the party, same as they did with the NRA who tried to do the same thing.

With Hillary weighing in on the side of AIPAC to endorse the challenger, I'd say that the establishment is pretty comfortable taking AIPAC's money.

I REALLY wish she'd just shut up and enjoy her long overdue retirement already 😮‍💨

Because the heads of the party are pocketing Israeli checks.

The D or R does not matter when it comes to Israel and its disgusting.

The only way to end it is to end lobbying.
