Very few politicians are willing to stand up to AIPAC

Among the Rs it's pretty much just her, Thomas Massie, and sometimes Rand Paul. The number on the D's can mostly be counted on one hand as well but it might be a bit bigger.
It's time to admit the uncomfortable truth. When it comes to foreign actors influencing our democracy, Russia and China are close to nothing in comparison to Israel.
If a politician can't denounce at least one of AIPAC or Israel then just call them what they are. A traitor who is owned by a foreign government. Sadly that's 90% of congress.
Odd question. Under the establishing principles of the US government, does congress have sovereign authority if is owned by a foreign government? I'm starting to view our federal government as being entirely illegitimate.
Social media users, as a group, are immune to nuance.
A thing is either good or bad, if you say anything good about a bad thing then you are also bad.
"Nuance", in this case, would be to recognize that she is a raging anti-Semite. Her position here is anything but altruistic.
Nuance would be that yes she is antisemite but that it's true that aipac need to register and that American politicians should work for American only and not for the terrorist state of Israel
Nah, man. Nuance would be looking past the surface level of, "Well, she's not wrong", and realize that it has nothing to do with empathy towards Palestinians, or moral outrage over Israel's genocide in Gaza. With her, it's just, "Jews bad. Get out of my country".
Even though, on the surface, it might "look like" you have some common ground...is that really something you "agree with"? It doesn't matter how similar her position "appears" to be to my own...I understand completely that at the root, we are nowhere near the same. Not even when we agree on something.
Like i said she is an antisemite and i know her ulterior motive. Still aipac and the genocide need to be stopped it's will not happen with democrats alone. You can trash her while agreeing that aipac need to stop influencing and threatening anti Palestine occupation and anti genocide people and that all usa politicians need to only serve the usa. Similar to Tuck , he is definitely a trash person and a white supremacist but when he bring a person like a nun from occupied Palestine it may convince some Christians to not support Israel
Nuance, in this case means recognizing that even raging anti-Semites can say things that are true.
Sure. For disgusting and abhorrent reasons.
I agree
