So, Democratic primary voters, here is the assignment.
Figure out who AIPAC, AI and Crypto PACs are supporting, and VOTE FOR THE OTHER CANDIDATE.
It will be tough because these sneaky guys know how unpopular they are, and they are using every dark money dirty trick in the book.
But, this is the fight for the soul of the Democratic Party. You've got this.
@mastodonmigration A lot of the negative ads against Juliana Stratton, and other progressives, in Illinois were paid for by an outfit called #FairshakePac. They try to present themselves as a progressive group supporting the obvious Bluedog Dem candidates. I did a quick search a week ago and this Wikipedia article came up as the first hit.
I tried to get the word out as best I could but my social media footprint is way too small.
Do you know who else they are targeting?
@mastodonmigration I’m pretty sure fairshake was also targeting Kat Abughazaleh.
Some of the AIPAC ads were done in support of Melissa Bean under the name Think Big PAC and Donna Miller under the name Affordable Chicago Now.
There were probably many other phony names as well, all of which will be changed before the next election.
Check for sunrise endorsements.
From a recent fundraising email from them:
Last night’s Congressional primaries didn’t go how we wanted in Chicago. But, there’s something I’m feeling proud of, and you should be too.
The results showed how weak AIPAC is, and how people like you and me have been key to making their money politically toxic in our elections. They funneled more than $20 million through a maze of obscure shell PACs and tried to reinvent their candidates as progressive champions. Voters didn’t buy it.
AIPAC’s candidates only cleared a third of the vote in one of four races. In IL09, they spent $9 million trying to elect Laura Fine, only for her to come in third. That is roughly $400 per vote.
