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.

Once again Democrats back and push for a conservative in the primary. Really fucking sad and why I’ll never donate to the party ever again.

I’m sorry, Hillary Clinton and Josh Gottheimer says what? Fucking moron.

Can’t wait until old conservative Democrats go the way of the dodo and I can actually feel good about voting for Democrats again.

Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be plenty of young conservative Democrats we can be disappointed about.

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.

That’ll happen when one candidate outspends the other 7 to 1 with the blood money of a fascist apartheid regime currently committing genocide and the endorsement of the establishment.

Taking money from AIPAC isn’t any better than taking money from the Russian or Saudi governments.
