AIPAC gearing up to spend $100M to eliminate “The Squad” (and those like them) from Congress once and for all

[Pressure]

You’re such a disingenuous fukk.

Creating a boogeyman as a rallying cry instead of talking about the thing you say matters most as a progressive (listening to regular people and pushing policies that helps them) and using that as your rallying cry does come off as disingenuous.

We agree

fascism is on the march

Where do find this random Republican shyt in a country with 200 percent inflation? The landlords simply refused to rent out apartments because they were mad at rent control. They then made those apartments available once rent control was repealed because they can charge whatever now.

@the cac mamba looks at an extraordinary situation and doesn’t even bother to ask himself the next most logical question.

Like why would renters run out to rent higher priced homes?

Your entire existence on this board is embarrassing and I literally described what happened and what places like NYC did coming out of the pandemic.

so is your terrible grammar

how the fukk are you gonna just discount hard evidence of lifting rent control resulting in 190% more housing available is availability not the issue? but it can't even be considered, because it goes against the leftist agenda? embarrassing

so is your terrible grammar

My G - highlighting a fukking typo while you failed to capitalize the first letter of your sentence is pretty fukking funny and on brand for how stupid you are. Welcome back to ignore - go on a transgender dating app in your spare time.

 

[the cac mamba]

what fukking history? this is not a real thing

 

[east]

the history was lost when a previous batch of transphobes came to power

It was a pioneering trans library — until the Nazis burned it

In Weimar Germany, a gay Jewish doctor revolutionized trans medical care.

NEW: I spent months tracking every single dollar AIPAC spent this year. This investigation paints a picture of just how much the pro-Israel lobbying group has reshaped elections after starting to spend directly on candidates just 2 years ago How Does AIPAC Shape Washington? We Tracked Every Dollar.

There are few seats in Congress that AIPAC spending hasn’t touched. The group soent on more than 80% of the seats up for election this cycle: AIPAC backed 389 candidates

AIPAC’s strategy is bipartisan. While AIAPC backed more Republicans than Democrats, it spend more on the Democrats it did back - namely on Wesley Bell and George Latimer, the 2 candidates it picked to oust squad members Reps. Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman

@akela_lacy
After every win this cycle, AIPAC tweeted: “Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics!” The data I analyzed shows a more complicated picture. Of the 389 candidates AIPAC backed, 57 faced no primary. Of the candidates that did face a primary, 88 had no opponent

@akela_lacy
In the races AIPAC targeted thru its super PAC, United Democracy Project, AIPAC was the biggest spender by far

@akela_lacy
AIPAC’s entry into direct electoral spending has fundamentally shifted how congressional elections work. Being critical of pro-Israel policy now has clear cost for members of Congress. And as AIPAC expands its reach, that cost goes up

We're an occupied country and people are too afraid to change that because they've fallen for the fear mongering. It's shameful

It’s a reason JFK was trying to get AIPAC to register as a foreign agency

Jesus, that was a depressing read. When you see that all together like that, you really come to understand how AIPAC and its allies aren't just spending millions, they're systematically dismantling any hope for actual change, one candidate at a time. It's like watching a machine chew up and spit out anyone who dares to challenge them. It really does seem like no matter how much people want change, big money will sweep in and crush it. I forgot all about with happened here with Andy Levin and how he was pushed out.
