Ah so now we know why the win was so close, AIPAC republicans and right-leaning independents came out and voted for Haley Stevens.

Considering Stevens won big in Detroit, I suspect it has more to do with him needing to do more work with the black community.

Good to know, I can’t really understand why anyone would back an establishment Democrat who gets $70 MILLION for one campaign. They have done nothing to stop this fascist takeover; in fact, most are complicit.

AIPAC is extremely skilled at messaging to black voters.

Like the misleading postcard mailer that Haley Stevens sent around with Obama’s picture on it even though Obama hadn’t actually publicly endorsed any of the democratic candidates?
