Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

She won her primary a couple months ago and she's in a very blue district.
They can still fund her opponent in the general.
And I'm sure that if they succeed, lemmy's centrists will gloat just like they did when a genocidal regime bought candidates to unseat Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush.
First part is true, but irrelevant since it's a blue district like I tried to explain to the other dude. When I say blue, I mean she more than doubled her next closest opponent (the Republican candidate)'s votes. It would be a waste of AIPAC's money from their perspective.
Second part sounds like fan fiction because the users on Lemmy I've interacted with don't sound like people who want to see a solidly blue district turn red.

Call me a liar again.
Yeah, that pretty much aligns with what I thought. A comment downvoted to -122.
It doesn't mean AIPAC cannot fund the campaign of a more conservative Democrat.
Yeah it does, because in the general election, she'll be the only Democrat. That's the purpose of the primary.
Didn't we see one Democrat beat another the other week?
That's a primary. Different places have primaries at different times.

I don't understand the point you two are making.

Edit: I think I understand your thought process. This isn't the only year with primaries and elections...
