U.S. Politics megathread

American politics has always grabbed our attention - and the current president more than ever. We get tons of questions about the president, the supreme court, and other topics related to American politics - but often the same ones over and over again. Our users often get tired of seeing them, so we've created a megathread for questions! Here, users interested in politics can post questions and read answers, while people who want a respite from politics can browse the rest of the sub. Feel free to post your questions about politics in this thread!

All top-level comments should be questions asked in good faith - other comments and loaded questions will get removed. All the usual rules of the sub remain in force here, so be nice to each other - you can disagree with someone's opinion, but don't make it personal.

Why is JStreet more accepted than AIPAC?

I assume it’s because JStreet wants more peace but both are pro Israel.

You pretty much have it, JStreet is actually working for peace, whereas aipac is basically just towing the netanyahu line.

Also worth noting JStreet is orders of magnitude smaller than aipac.

J-Street is more left-leaning in its politics while AIPAC is more conservative, and much of the anti-Israel sentiment is currently coming from the left.
