'Rather than being toxic to the #Democrats’ brand, it’s clear Party Leadership’s issue with this slate of explicitly anti-zionist (or at least Israel-critical) candidates is ideological. Jeffries was the largest recipient of pro-Israel money out of 435 voting members in the House last election cycle [...] and Schumer has explicitly said his “job” is to “keep the left pro-Israel.” '

US media presents centrist panic over progressive wins as mere post-ideological ‘electability concerns’ 

No mention of pro-Israel and corporate funding, no mention of capitalist ideology—just ‘good-faith’ worry over what will play in Purple America.

"The idea that supporting #Israel no matter what was all but necessary if you wanted to hold national office in this country was perhaps the most enduring rule in politics, even as that support resulted in the continued killing, displacement, and oppression of millions of people, including my relatives.
"But the days of blank checks and blanket immunity for Israel are over. They’re never coming back."

It’s Official: Palestine Has Changed US Politics Forever

The epic results in New York confirmed it: Support for Palestinian rights is driving an unprecedented political transformation—and there’s no going back.

LOL. Are you okay, #BlueMAGA ?

Hey James, be sure to take as much Clintonite trash as you can with you on the way out. (and don't forget to shut the door!)

Seismic Shift: DSA and Mamdani-Backed Pro-Palestine Democrats Sweep New York Primaries

Mayor Zohran Mamdani may be the new kingmaker of New York City politics. In a sweeping affirmation of his affordability-focused agenda, all three congressional candidates endorsed by Mamdani in a set of contested Democratic primary elections declared victory Tuesday night. Manhattan and the Bronx’s Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brooklyn’s Claire Valdez and Brad Lander were all joined on the campaign trail by the progressive NYC mayor in the weeks leading up to election night. Like Mamdani, Avila Chevalier and Valdez are members of the NYC chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, which backed their campaigns. We speak to John Tarleton, editor-in-chief of the New York City local independent newspaper The Indypendent, about the insurgent left of the Democratic Party and the potential national ramifications of the Zohran-DSA machine. Two of the races also functioned as a referendum on the growing split in the Democratic Party over Israel/Palestine. While the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC funneled an estimated $50 million into their staunchly pro-Israel opponents’ campaigns, Avila Chevalier and Lander refused to take any funding from pro-Israel groups and consistently emphasized their support of efforts to restrict U.S. military aid for Israel. “If you ignore the cause of Palestinian liberation, you do so at your own peril,” says Tarleton.

Endorsing Danielle Welch For Congress In NY-03

Waging a primary campaign curiously devoid of big national figures like Sanders and Warren, Danielle Welch is challenging my Congressman, Sellout Suozzi. I really hope she wins.

What the corrupt gerontocracy fails to understand is there is no need to support the Democrats if Biden loses. Their whole shtick is that only they can stop fascism. If Trump wins, there won't be a liberal democracy to fight for.

Bowman Falls to Latimer in House Primary in New York

Representative Jamaal Bowman of New York, a member of the House’s left-wing “squad,” was defeated by George Latimer in a race that exposed Democratic fissures.

Today is primary day & so let's take it from Joe Biden:

"Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value."

AIPAC and aligned independent expenditure committees could have swamped proud Christian Nationalist for her actual antisemitism in CO-4 primary but instead chose to swamp Pro-peace/anti-war progressive incumbent in NY-16 w/ $14 million

Could it be that antisemitism isn't the core problem?

Nixon concedes with defiance: "The fight for the soul of the Democratic party is just beginning. Because before we can take our country back, we have to take our party back...we have to give people something to show up and vote for." #NYPrimaries

Still puzzles me that the US of A prides itself in being a DEMOCRACY like no other country (with the exception of maybe the Swiss) and yet every time there is an election or primary there are sooo many reports of issues with voter rolls. #nyprimaries
