    tbf, in this election they did not campaign for Israel like they did last time.

    most of them will probably still support Israel. but they were quiet about it.

    at least we got Abdul and the death of aipac

      They did though they picked AIPAC prominent Hakeem Jeffries as speaker and the DSA threw its own national power overboard so they could endorse Zionist Nithya Raman

      This may be the end of AIPAC specifically, but it is not the end of the Israel lobby. They’re simply getting better about laundering their donations in the name of optics now.

      • I’m sure they have had a brainstorming session on how to influence elections in another way.

        BTW, the way AIPAC is structured, it can easily turn into dark money.

        (AIPAC doesn’t donate to candidates, it tells rich Zionists to donate to donors, not hard to make it shadowy)

      Yes actually Trump did factually achieve more to stop the genocide in Gaza than the Democrats. Far less Palestinians were killed under two years of trump than a year of Biden.

      The point in the post is that the Democrat leader is a full throated massive Zionist. But if you want to appeal to imaginary numbers about Trump “genociding all Palestinians” like Blue MAGA folk did two years ago we can actually conclude the opposite. Democrats were far more genocidal. But of course you don’t care about Palestinians being genocided. You just want your treats and healthcare.

          So focussing on just gaza numbers would be single issue.

          You’re fucking joking.

          Do you actually think that by tacking on Iran and the USA we go above the Blue MAGA genocide in Gaza numbers? Or are you just throwing out random things hoping I’m not going to open a search engine and verify that it doesn’t?

          Replies like yours make me want to respond by just throwing your comment into an LLM and telling it to debunk it that’s how little effort you deserve in response.

          The number of deaths caused at home and in Iran is basically a rounding error compared to the Gaza genocide, but of course it’s a “single issue” because Palestinians aren’t human to you

            The deaths are happening under Republicans anyways, the point is to focus on the difference since neither party is stopping it entirely.

            It’s also delusional to think Democrats would’ve cause significantly more death anyways with how good Trump’s relationship with Israel.

              It’s impossible to talk to you when you can’t even remember what was already said in this thread

          Oh there it is, the nonsense “Blue MAGA” phrase. Tell me when trump was positing AI gen videos of gaza leveled and turned into a trump themed gold coated resort that was showing his support for rebuilding it then? You are either:

          No Biden levelled Gaza. 95% of the destruction you see happened under Biden.

          But Trump made an AI video putting a hotel on top oh nooo!
