Last week's Democratic National Committee meeting illustrated a party trying to stay focused on economic issues while grappling with strong, changing opinions on Israel.
Or just not vote for AIPAC/Israel friendly candidates in the primary…
We could vote for ones that when in office will try to actually change the laws and prevent PACs from buying elections…
That’s the only way to fix the problem. The DNC has zero control over what a PAC does, we need progressives in office to change the laws, and the path to that is getting people to vote in Dem primaries no matter what.
Billionaires are spreading this shit, because they want people to give up on the DNC and not vote in dem primaties.
Like, walk me thru what happens if the DNC “bans” AIPAC, and AIPAC spends on/against someone in a Dem primary again.
What do you think the consequences should be?
How would we avoid AIPAC spending a trifling amount to trigger that consequence on candidates they’re opposed to?
What happens when AIPAC springs up the next day with a new acronym?
Take a second and think how the things you want accomplished can actually be accomplished. Then join with the DNC who’s been trying to come up with a way they can actually do anything as just a party to limit PACs.
No, not DNC. Make a PAC, use shell companies or whatever to keep from being identified, and pretend you love Israel and support Zionism. Then turn around and fund anti-Israel candidates. Do the same thing for oil and gas, religion, vaccines, whatever. Just a giant “trust me bro” network they can’t call out because dark money. Just keep some convincing white guys and ai chat bots to field any concerns the donors have.
Who cares about hypocrisy in the face of genocidal maniacs. Just lie to them directly, we support Israel etc., funnel the money through other PACs, and keep up the lies until they are gone. Every dollar you leech from them is one that can’t be used for their purposes or against yours.
Take their money, then don’t support Isreal in congress. Easy peasy. Let them waste their efforts.
You’ll lose to anti Israel Republicans on our head promoting this strategy

What laws will pass SCOTUS? Until we have the ability to pass an amendment against it, play dirty.
How?

Don’t know what’s the anti-AIPAC but even better if every dollar you get from AIPAC works directly against them (without the perception of hypocrisy).

in theory this goes for all donors but you are going to be judged by the company you keep.
