MODERATORS
Anybody following this able to give a balanced summary? I find The Hill to tend right-leaning and don't much trust their analysis.
The Hill seems to be placing the defeat of Bowman on his stance against the genocide in Palestine, which is becoming a sort of dog-whistle saying, "stand against the invasion of Palestine, and this is what happens to you." It may in this case be true; I can believe it, but I don't trust The Hill to not be constructing a narrative.
Israel/aipac flooded his opponent with money because bowman was critical of Isreal.
Dems also changed their minds one actually supporting the incumbents here.
This has never been a standard they apply to progressives.
Amazing how that happens every time
Compare the party's treatment of Bowman to their treatment of Coathanger Cuellar.
