Every single Dem politician should be screaming about this at the top of their lungs. This is a direct threat to them as well, but they're not gonna do it.
Why?
Because AIPAC and their billionaire donors are telling them to stand down.
Establishment Dems put more effort into resisting Mamdani than they put into resisting Trump since 2016.
Can you share some source for this aipac claim? I mean, fuck aipac, but I just want to make sure we don’t go down the shouting about the evil Jewish billionaires controlling everything route.
Cuomo is one of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu’s legal defense team members. He has worked tirelessly on behalf of AIPAC for years.
Regardless, AIPAC gets all its special favors for terrorist state Israel by complete regulatory capture in the US. It’s how they’ve convinced Americans to give up their own constitutional right to free speech - if you criticize Israel too harshly, American gestapo will arrest you.
So, of course they consider Mamdani an existential threat. Once voters realize socialist policies help them in a tangible way instead of further funneling money to billionaires like Miriam Adelson, there is going to be a political reckoning resulting in AIPAC having no power and Israel being left to fend for itself without US intervention. They’re terrified of this scenario.
There's no "source", AIPAC deals directly with politicians and those discussions are not public. But we know that AIPAC gives lots of money to Democrats to the point that they can and have dictated policy, and we know that AIPAC's spokesperson has been on national news shows specifically to fearmonger about Mamdani both before and after the election. Most direct source here is gonna be using your noggin.
Wouldn't this be a source?
Brother in Christ, Democrats have been controlled opposition for quite some time. It wasn't until Bernie, AOC, Mamdani, and others of their class that began to stand out from the Establishment. With Citizens United, there isn't much of a difference in terms of which party sucks Corporate dick.
I think if you don't know the roll AIPAC has played in modern politics, it's on you to go get a baseline education. It s not something some one should have to educate you on in a short form post. They've played a transformative role in US politics and are practicing why we can't have nice things as a country.
I'm not saying the interest isn't valid, but I also feel like understanding AIPAC is table stakes in US politics
I'm not saying the influence of AIPAC isn't important, but I feel like being a patronizing twat instead of seizing a moment to help educate someone on the topic isn't a great way to welcome people to the cause.
Dude literally said they spent more trying to fight him than they would be taxed. It really is just a dick measuring contest with rich people. They do not take risk assessment seriously.
