AIPAC is not on America's side....

Harris has spoken at their conference multiple times, and I really hope recent events have changed her mind, but we can't stop pressuring her and the party at large to do the right thing and stop allying with genocidal religious extremists.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 39 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're misunderstanding, America is not on your side.

The military-industrial complex, which AIPAC is a manifestation of, is more American than you or me.

Eisenhower tried to warn us, but nobody (or not enough people) listened.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago

Maybe Eisenhower should have listened to himself and, while we're at it, allied with Castro and Ho Chi Minh when they asked.

Harris has spoken at their conference multiple times

Every American President, most of the VPs, and nearly every Leader of both the House and Senate have spoken at their conference for the last 30 years.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes... Genocide will continue, what are y'all gonna about it peasants lol

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Turns out we, the American public, can bring quite a bit of political pressure to bear now that we know it's happening.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 1 month ago

Online it sure seems like people care... Anytime I bring this issue up in normal life, I get treated anti semetic conspiracy theorist....

So is this American public in the room with us right now?

I accepted the fact that genocide will continue, best I can do is document my disapproval and let people around me know what's up.

Thank you - you are so right.

She got beat by a guy who was bankrolled by Israelis and billionaire Republicans.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 50 points 1 month ago (2 children)

it feels like money can do anything.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

yup, fascism

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 month ago

Thank you, Citizens United :)

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

She didn't get beat. AIPAC and Republican billionaires bought her seat for that turd Bell.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

AIPAC is buying our politicians. We should be outraged

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I'm plenty enraged for all of us, believe me. I've been seeing red for a fucking decade.

That being said, more rage please.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yet another prime example of why we must get money out of politics to preserve democracy. End the legalized bribes.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

She should still run but as independent. She can still win.

[–] oakey66@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Not just legalized bribes. This is a foreign nation influencing American elections. There was a massive amount of outrage when Russia bought some Facebook ads. This is a whole new level of election interference by an agent of a foreign nation.

[–] joeynotjoe@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Fuck... this is depressing.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yep. What do you even do? Boycott the AIPAC stooge? Surprise, the Republican is also one!

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We are cornered by these clown.

They must be treated as a hostile foreign agent.

They need to register and they must be denied tax exempt status.

These parasites are enemies who get treated like allies. WTF clown time line do we live in where senior alliance partner is the bottom bitch and patariots accept that shit as normal lol

🤡

[–] jorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

You see killing brown people is cool and the Bible says Jesus will come back if Israel exists so that's enough to dominate politics in backwards-ass America.

[–] ashok36@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, it's an expected outcome when moderate Republicans are driven from their party and seek refuge in the next closest party, the dems. The Democrat party will tack right wards a bit for the next few years just because the voters flocking to them now are by nature more conservative. If and when Maga dies or the republican party splinters, those more conservative people will leave the dems and the party will be pulled leftward again by the remaining members.

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The mythical refugee GOP moderates do not exist in any real significant numbers, but even if that wasn't the case, they aren't the factor driving the Democratic Party to the right. That's a product of 50 years of neoliberalism and the DNC being owned by their donor class.

Once you understand that, you can fit all of the other contributing factors under those two umbrellas, such as how Democratic administrations have refused to provide any real legislative solutions to the judicial branch's removal of union's ability to accumulate and retain real political power.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago

FUCK! AIPAC buying another seat from under one of the few politicians in Washington who truly cares more about people than money.

FUCK AIPAC and the genocidal apartheid regime they rode in on! 🖕🖕🖕

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately, a lot of people, myself included, saw that coming.

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

.... I hate this town so much.

[–] Bonesy91@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Living in Missouri I am severely disappointed by democrats who live here and don't actually get out and vote. Or they just blindly believe commercials without researching themselves. 😑

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I think the AIPAC brainwashing scheme worked. Plus I feel some number of conservatives switched the ballot for the primary to oust her. It was always about racism.
