two things can be true at once.
AIPAC actively bankrolls controlled opposition in the democratic party and money can buy a lot of sway.
conversely, Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman got out right betrayed by leftists. That sexy clown Briahna Joy Gray spent the better part of three hours clashing with Bowman and then degrading him with an Indian who accused Bowman of faking his blaccent

all because Bowman wouldn’t crash out against the Democrats.
There seriously were pro Palestine clowns protesting Bowman at his events because he wasn’t going hard enough against Israel

And let’s be clear;
going against the genocide of Gaza and the Palestinians is a moral position that I think every politician worth a damn should back.
the issue is the type of leftist that claims that curbing Israeli bloodlust is the most important issue of our lifetime is also the same leftist that wont participate in electoral politics as they are accelerationists, whether they will admit it or not. I won’t knock them for looking at the Democrats and seeing a feckless, centrist, paid off apparatus. The issue is these fakkits don’t want to do the work in appealing to the average non maga american and convincing them why they should abandon western capitalist democracy .
they don’t want to build off of any electoral successes rather they want to be leading a mob of people pissed off at the Democrats and Republicans and hope that they can topple the system.
