Democrat leadership will see polls like this and still debate for months about what to do and defend Israel, they're so fucking dumb it's unreal, they're only going to win because Trump is such a fuck up but almost nobody is happy with Democrats right now, utterly useless party. Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, and a lot more Democrats need to piss off and make way for new leadership, new ideas, instead of desperately holding onto the status quo and Israel's blood money. |
Democrat leadership is close to as much in the pocket of Aipac as Republican leadership is.

AIPAC has spent money on more than 80 percent of the 469 seats up for reelection this year.
AIPAC’s approach to electoral spending is bipartisan. The group has funded Republican, Democrat, and independent candidates alike. AIPAC PAC supported 233 Republicans with a total of more than $17 million in funds, 152 Democrats who received more than $28 million in sum, and three independents: Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, and Angus King of Maine, who got just under $300,000 between them.
AIPAC PAC also gave more than $3 million to party committees and organizations on both sides of the aisle including the NRSC, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Jeffries Majority Fund, and Democracy Engine.
So far, the spending has had its desired effect. The number of members of Congress willing to support conditioning aid to Israel or criticizing human rights abuses has shrunk as AIPAC has increased its electoral spending and put it to work targeting progressive candidates and lawmakers.

US politics is controlled by Aipac, while Trump is controlled by Putin.Â
Meanwhile China and BRICS are only growing stronger. UN and Nato's days are numbered while Trump remains in power... The US has become a liability for Europe :/

Not only that, but AIPAC actually goes after Democrats who won't toe the mark. They spent millions going after members of the Squad. In the cases of Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman, they got primaried, though Bowman's case wasn't helped by the fire alarm incident in 2023. They couldn't get Ilhan Omar ousted, though.
