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.

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