We fought MAGA to a win, only to find Israel standing right behind them. Now we have to battle AIPAC, and they're much smarter, and more ruthless, than MAGA.

Dems have to stop taking money from Israel, and Israel has to be cut loose from our economic support. Without our support, they would have had to learn to live with their neighbors by now. Instead, our support has allowed them to be arrogant and hostile.

Now they are trying to control America, and that can't happen. Time to cut Israel loose, and all Democrats should support that.

So 157 Republican seats in the house and 44 Republican seats in the Senate is 201 candidates.

Fetterman, Jeffries, Schumer, Wasserman Schultz, Booker makes 206.

Figure out the 29 other ones to get rid in the Blue Rinse in 2028. When the first tsunami didn't clean them all out, you swish out the last bad taste with a Blue Rinse.

Thanks for all the purple underlines. They really helped keep my attention for the 10 seconds it took to read this – a feat otherwise impossible.

[–] Goodlucksil@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Reading AIPAC propaganda for even 10 seconds is enough for frying one's brain

Sorry could you underline the sapient points of that comment? TLDR man /s

I meant sapient.

I notice nothing is underlined. /s

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah, in that case, there is no underlining because none of the text is capable of complex thought.

[–] moonshine69@lemmy.nz 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You are confused with sentinel, sapient is an adjective meaning wise or intelligent.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You are confused with sentential, sentinels fight mutants.

[–] NihilSineNefas@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

No that was a Robin Williams film about a robot wanting to gain a soul so they could commit suicide and fight god personally

At least in my state AIPAC money actually tanked a lot of people’s primaries and cost them seats.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I first learned about Zionism and AIPAC in 2011.

As disappointing as this is? It's still fewer candidates than before. A growing number of candidates are winning without AIPAC money.

In fact, money spent had no correlation with success in this midterm. Republican donors outspent democrats by 2-5 times.

It's not close to done, but politicians are paying attention. That's my take away.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I agree. We're heading in the right direction, and now we have to make the elimination of Israeli influence a major priority.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Its a multi-stage process and I can see it taking a long time, but much of it can be done in parallel.

I think the first thing, the hardest thing, is decoupling military hardware and software. Then halting arms sales and funding. Then, sanctions.

But they can at least start in parallel.

[–] MyFriendGodzilla@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

The real Uniparty.

They left it vague on purpose now that their lobbying is actually TOXIC to their preferred candidate. They want to diminish the revolt.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Israel's influence in America is at an all time nadiar. Yet still, some people insist that Israel is still in charge. Their source? Israel's own propaganda. This is why conspiracy people can't be taken seriously.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 5 points 6 days ago

nadiar

I heard that guy sells shitty copper

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

A few years ago people would clutch their pearls when I talked shit about Israel until I clarified the difference between Israel and Judaism. Now it seems more people are seeing right through the emphatic support from these paid politicians.

Israel's influence is waning but they still have a lot of power, though

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

That's the shortest rollercoaster I've ever read

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Your source?

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Coming for you next, sweethearts.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Pfft. Anybody ever exaggerated your accomplishments to look good?

[–] RumorsOfLove@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

we need to see the party control diagrams, but AIPAC vs non

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

They're already pushing for jeffires and schumer.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is exactly what I have been saying. Israel won the election again.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not really. The system is build to last and changing it takes a lot of time. The results are terrible for Israel and mark a significant shift in how general public perceives them. They are fine for the next electoral cycle or two but they are worried.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So long as most candidates are owned by them, public perception is irrelevant

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 1 points 6 days ago

And I'm not talking about public perception. It's impossible for DSA and progressive candidates to win in all races during one election. They don't have enough resources and they don't have the right candidates in every place to do it. Different systems allow other parties to emerge and win against the establishment but in US winning Democratic primaries is the only way to go. It will take a lot of time for progressives to actually become the majority of elected Democrats but this doesn't mean the perception of Israel didn't change. It did and US is on the path to stop supporting them. Because it's such a slow process many things can happen along the way but the they did take the first steps.

So much for hope and change....

[–] zoloftt@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I personally think this is EXACTLY what they want. They put this out so people like you and me would feel despair.

What matters is that you use this as fuel to push harder for separation from foreign influence.

Citizens United was such a bad ruling. It has allowed legal bribery for far too long.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

American's need need to keep the momentum.

It will take bipartisan support for bills to bypass Trump's veto. As such American's need to pressure representatives from both parties on an individual level.

Reframing politics from right vs left is paramount. Rich vs Poor isn't working. But AIPACs vs Americans just might.
