Progressive Analilia Mejia has pulled off a long-shot win in a special election primary for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district, defeating favorite Tom Malinowski thanks to AIPAC’s intervention in the race.
Malinowski conceded Tuesday morning, saying in a post on X that Mejia “deserves unequivocal praise and credit for running a positive campaign and for inspiring so many voters on Election Day.”
“But the outcome of this race cannot be understood without also taking into account the massive flood of dark money that AIPAC spent on dishonest ads during the last three weeks,” Malinowski’s post said.
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand this post (and that’s not my downvote).
(I was walking out the door, like the author while writing the article)
Yeah, I can’t speak for your interpretation of that. The “But AIPAC’s poor judgement has now backfired.” ending seemed pretty conclusive to me. However, the article now has a note that it was updated, so maybe it ended differently before. 🤷♂️
You didn’t answer his first question. The primary question he asked
So he ended his response early like he states the article did.
I can’t speak for his interpretation (obviously). It seemed conclusive to me.Edit: and the “thanks for not explaining” seemed rude at first. I assumed this is why others were down voting them, so I gave them a chance to clarify.And that is surely not their primary question when the got the actual premise wrong (no, AIPAC did not finance the progressive).Them:
You:
Surely you can’t be serious. Nobody is going to be able able to jump into the author’s brain like that, and it is obviously not a serious “primary” question.
That is right. When you don’t know you don’t say. You should have just not answered at all.
Please re-read the exchange. I clearly and concisly answered the primary question, which is about what happened in regard to AIPAC funding in the election.
How about we see that differently. The first question is what I consider the primary question.
The first question obviously wasn’t a serious question, but they were clearly confused about who AIPAC was funding.
No AIPAC did not accidentally fund the progressive. Instead they accidentally went after the moderate with the vest chances of winning.
This you? Not understanding what the guy said in his post. The thread we are in right now. Comprehension isn’t my problem. I know what I’m talking about here but you keep trying to move the goal posts.
I think it is you who still doesn’t comprehend what they were saying. They weren’t getting sassy with me, they were making a joke while thanking me for the explaination. They made that perfectly clear in the later response.
