Ignoring that sexist trash in the beginning, AIPAC doesn't just reward compliant behavior from politicians, they also use the same vast resources to relentlessly punish dissent on their pet issues. Being an anti-Israel candidate is suicide with them around. They are a hundred pound weight on the scales of our political machine.

This sucks, but apparently she’s decided that it’s not going to hurt her campaign enough to matter.

You have the choice between supporting a foreign fascist genocide, or both a foreign AND domestic fascist genocide!

This country is in some ways completely hopeless. We need to stop giving Israel offensive weapons.

She is a Zionist? With this kind of stuff you know who are the real owners here.

As far as I know, she hasn’t actually declared herself a Zionist like Biden has.
