DNC Kills Resolution Condemning AIPAC Influence in Elections
(newrepublic.com)
Losers stay losing. 
Democrats main job is shock absorbance, they seem to be doing very well at it, not a peep of discontent from their piggies. The left most significant win is electing, believe it or not, a democrat
The Democratic Party needs the Republicans, so they have to screw up just as badly to maintain the status quo. You can't have a Good Cop/Bad Cop schtick if you write the Bad Cop out of the show.
If I wrote this as a plot point in a book my editor would laugh at me.
Not even a bill to ban it just an empty resolution. Very cool guys very vertebrae-like
Ok, maybe Tucker Carlson will become president, goddamn they never learn
What is going on? Used to be you could accept money from AIPAC. Not anymore!
IF. Republicans run a (for their base) decent candidate like Tucker instead of Vance they have a realistic shot at winning....cause yeah Tucker isnt Trump you see.
Is UBI without rent control not just a landlord subsidy? Why not wish for free housing or something instead?
Quick fire meme, but I got ya:
Love the added details.
There are 5 rules
Andrew Yang, is that you
MATH
Russia Russia Russia
But what about AIPAC?
I simply cannot believe you commies are SOOO anti-Semitic as to claim this group, which we won't even pretend to do nothing to oppose their outsized influence on us for fear of risking their displeasure, has an outsized influence on us. For shame!
At least two potential 2028 Democratic nominees may have played a role in killing the resolution, with one DNC member telling Politico they received direct calls from the presidential hopefuls expressing concern about the resolution.
The DNC resolutions committee also punted on two other resolutions on recognizing a Palestinian state and conditioning military aid to Israel.
They don't tell who the two potential nominees are.
From the linked politico article, solely including to highlight guy's name
James Zogby — a longtime DNC member and critic of Israel who is president of the Arab American Institute and who sits on Martin’s Middle East Working Group — said the party needs to wake up to voters’ shifting views on Israel.
huh
Liberals: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's in my nature."
They just cannot envision a world in which genocide is bad. They love it. They have to have it. Genocide is like air to the average American politician
Yeah, ask a lib, who cares what kind, what their "better world" looks like and get ready to cringe out of your skin. Its always just, capitalism but it just magically works. Baby brain shit. They cant imagine a better world, only one that gets worse a little slower.
This is the rhetorical cudgel to beat their apologists with.
But, but, but... I thought foreign influence was the most scary and disqualifying thing possible...
silly RFA, it says right there in the name that it's "American Israeli"
Well obviously smol bean Israel can't influence anything that would be like the tail wagging the dog! Now, watch as an entire generation of politicians fall on a literal field of swords for entirely unrelated reasons, unable to offer even a symbolic resistance
The tail and the dog are wagging each other 
it's only foreign interference if it comes from russia otherwise it's just intervention
Isn’t this the new line? Condemning AIPAC would be antisemitism because it’d imply the Jewish lobby is controlling everything. DNC is on the ball!
Still waiting for dnc chair Ken Martin to make things better like people keep saying and said when he got elected. Any day now

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
