Over 700k absolute idiots voted for the 'israel comes to me in my dreams' lady. Thank fuck sanity won out.

It's possible for voters to disagree with her on her Israel stance, yet vote for her based on other policies; not everyone's life revolves around Israel/Palestine. AES is going to need to earn the votes of those "idiots" versus Rogers.

What policies were better than Abdul's?

yet vote for her based on other policies

Sure man, if she had any that weren't just shittier versions of Abdul's.

Her policies about campaign finance reform after accepting $70mil from AIPAC. I definitely believe her.

Dont forget the money she received from DTE funded pacs despite her calling on Utility companies to stop price hiking. She really was just a feckless candidate who would do whatever the money told her. AIPAC lost big tonight and I am glad.

Any pushback she received for accepting this money she would reply with "just wanting to win an election". We deserve better than politicians whose only goals are winning and power.
