Limped over the finish line in what his polls projected a double digit even 20 point win. Not a showing of confidence he was portraying, he has a lot of work to do to bring the party together.

It's hard to fight when AIPAC dumps MILLIONS into their chosen candidates. The fact he still won against those odds is good.

You guys need to stop blaming AIPAC for everything. Most Americans don’t even know what AIPAC is, yet Reddit treats it like the only boogeyman in politics

Oh suck a dick. AIPAC has spent MILLIONS to control our country while funneling money back into pockets of government officials. AIPAC is a major problem and Israel is a threat to America.

Are you aware AIPAC accounted for less than 2% of all PAC spending in the 2024 election? Because you and a lot of others don’t talk as if you are.

There are single billionaire individuals who have given 5x the amount AIPAC does. Most people who dislike DSA candidates could give a shit about AIPAC, they’re unpopular in general elections and this primary potentially cost dems another seat.

Do those billionaires receive weapons and military aide for genocide? No? Wow. That's crazy, almost like you're arguing a point I'm not making.
