AIPAC’s decision to stop directly endorsing and funding candidates is merely a shift to dark money. The Democratic Party will not cut off AIPAC or oligarchic money because its leadership benefits from it.

    So what? It doesn’t matter if AIPAC funding is obvious or covert, the words and votes of politicians are public record. Siding with Israel is a losing issue.

      Yep. Also a lot of dems that won last night, especially for the seats that flipped blue, ran on a platform of getting corporate funding out of politics. So hopefully they push some bills to ban funding from these corpos and superpacs and force trump to veto them so that they can point to that in 2028 and say “this is who the republicans (and corpo dems) really work for” and then hopefully get a supermajority. I hope in 2028, every corpo dem is challenged by a far left dsa type candidate so that we can finally get things done and make life better. This election has made it very obvious that actual populist policies like taxing the rich and medicare for all work even in deep red states
