A Democratic National Committee member is proposing a symbolic resolution for consideration at a DNC meeting next month to reject the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s massive spending on Congressional races.
The measure, sponsored by a young DNC member from Florida, could put party leaders on the spot about the pro-Israel lobbying group’s outsized role in Democratic primaries.
A lobbying behemoth that for decades courted lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, AIPAC has become an increasingly toxic brand in the Democratic Party.
In recent years, Israeli leaders and their backers in Washington have become more closely aligned with Republican politicians. At the same time, however, AIPAC’s super PAC has focused tens of millions in spending on Democratic primary races.
Let’s strip away all the context here. No Israel. No U.S. no Democrats/Republicans.
Imagine I told you a fictional country, the United Grapes of Dumberica was formed.
Now imagine I told you that the government of this country had people from foreign governments both friendly and hostile giving them money.
In what logical universe would would that be legal?
Well i just create a law that says it’s legal, and use the wages you earned as a productive member of society to fund the force of oppression against you. And if you dare say anything, I’ll label you as a terrorist.
Pretty simple really.
Then I’ll burst into any room and exclaim we are the greatest grapers in the entire world
You sound like a big grapist.
I just explained how the US government operates lol
Ok. I wasn’t criticizing.
My bad. Apologies.
I forgot i set the joke up, and failed to capitalize on your continuation. I’m an idiot.
There’s next time no worries.
Politics is hard.
If a pedophile can do it, how hard can it be?
Not that kind.
