I'm really hoping this loss is just a blip, and not a harbinger of worse things to come for progressivism in the US.

Recent Redistricting and #AIPAC = #JamaalBowman's seat going to #GOPieceofShit-Backed, #FarRight, #antiabortion 'Democrat' #GeorgeLatimer🤮

The fact that money literally is the only variable that matters in elections yet we still call ourselves a democracy... Smh. What a farce.

"George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, defeated U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Tuesday in a Democratic primary in suburban New York that highlighted the party’s deep divisions over the war in Gaza."

AP reports: "With the victory, Latimer has ousted one of the most liberal voices in Congress and one of its most outspoken critics of Israel."

Oh wow Jamaal This was an ass whooping.

#GeorgeLatimer👇

Rep #JamaalBowman of #NewYork, one of #Congress’s most outspoken progressives, suffered a stinging #primary defeat Tues, brought down by a record-shattering onslaught from pro-#Israel groups & a slate of self-inflicted blunders.

#Bowman was defeated by #GeorgeLatimer, the Westchester County exec, in a race that became the year’s ugliest intraparty brawl & the most expensive #House primary in history.

The Washington Post is projecting a Latimer victory in NY-16.

AIPAC, the biggest donor in US politics, is pouring millions of dollars to defeat #JamaalBowman in the race for Democrat nominee.
Facing a primary opponent #GeorgeLatimer , a multimilionaire funded by a seemingly bottomless well of dollars from AIPAC, , Bowman is far from being #Antisemite : "Jews for Jamaal" are canvassing Hastings-on-Hudson and Bernie Sanders spoke to a rally this week-end to promote its nomination.

AIPAC distribue des dizaines de millions de $ pour faire battre Jamaal Bowman aux primaires démocrates du 25 juin.
Pourquoi tant de (F) haine ?
Simple, Jamaal Bowman a osé appeler un chat un chat et l'agression de l'#IOF contre #Gaza un #Genocide.
Ce week-end, #AOC et #BernieSanders ont participé à un rassemblement de soutien pour Mr Bowman.
L'article de #TheNation date de 10 jours, mais il présente avec justesse les forces en présences, les enjeux surtout.
Sous couvert de lutte contre l'antisémitisme, c'est l'aile leftist des Democrats qui est visée.

Former DCCC executives, who once enforced a blacklist against firms supporting primary challengers after AOC’s primary win, are now running firms backing centrist challengers.

One former executive director of the DCCC is now a partner of a consulting firm that is working for George Latimer—an AIPAC-backed, conservative politician who is running against Jamaal Bowman, the progressive incumbent of New York’s 16th district.
