The American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s political action committee spent nearly $15 million on the primary, filling airwaves and mailboxes with negative ads in an effort to unseat Bowman, who has accused the influential pro-Israel lobbying group of trying to buy the race.

“The outcome in this race once again shows that the pro-Israel position is both good policy and good politics — for both parties,” the American Israel Public Affairs Committee said in a statement.

15 fucking million dollars, and AIPAC claims this primary shows voters support Israel…

Fuck any politician who takes a dime in bribes from a foreign country. I’m never voting for anyone that takes AIPAC money, regardless of what letter is by their name.

It’s a big tent, but it doesn’t have room for genocide.

Evidently, it doesn’t have room for opposition to genocide.

Foreign interference in US elections works.

Congratulations to all pro-genocide centrists. Netanyahu bought you a candidate.

EDIT: three articles about this so far. When anti-genocide candidates lose, this community is where the party’s at.

Hey now Margret Thatcher did at least two good things, protected the Falklands from Argentina and died. Hillary Clinton has done neither.

Just another example of how, if you’re even marginally out of the mainstream of politics, you will be perpetually disappointed with our government.
