    When the pro-Israel challengers are soundly defeated, do you think the donor class will take it as a sign that they’re out-of-touch with the Democratic base, and perhaps need to reevaluate their stances?

    Who am I kidding, they think they can buy their way into political office and set policy by throwing enough money at it (*cough* Bloomberg *cough*) or buy off politicians directly (*cough* Manchin *cough*).

        The Israeli lobby is inclusive of the Christian Dominionists who are antisemitic and zionists, I don’t think that this is called out enough. The Democratic Majority for Israel and AIPAC are funded by some of the same donors who give/bundle for Republicans and are Conservative Christians. Shontel Brown was backed by Democratic Majority for Israel, most of her precincts she won were white majority precincts outside of Cleveland, all the while portrayed as if she was representing the black and Latino community, and Nina Turner was alluded to as being antisemitic and supported primarily by white Bernie Bros.

        Objective reality doesn’t matter much to propagandists.
