Don't ever let anyone tell you that bullying can't be effective. People have put in huge amounts of effort to try to make AIPAC as toxic as it should be to those seeking election under the Democratic banner.

Inexplicably unpopular counterpoint: candidates for public office should be able to take any campaign donations offered and then still go on to vote on behalf of their constituents instead of that donor.

Amazing! She's my rep and I've been really impressed with her so far, even before this.

Democrats need to demand that AIPAC stops supporting the current Israeli government that is committing genocide against millions of Palestinians if they still want Democratic politicians help with AIPAC's causes. Democratic politicians can not justify supporting the Israeli government right now.

Démocrates need to demand that Hamas end the devastating war they started.

If more Democrats had demonstrated similar commitments before the election, they could’ve kept Trump out of office.

No politician should be allowed to take AIPAC money as it means they’ve been compromised by a foreign government. Thus the silence on the genocide in Gaza.
