    This is why I think reforming the Democrats is a lost cause. They would rather torpedo the entire thing than give an actual leftist one iota of power.

    El-Sayed / Hasan manufactured controversy playing out right now is a perfect example of what this looks like.

      Consider that a lot of this is coming from campaign consultants who eschew the idea of grass roots funded lean campaigns that don’t waste money on TV ad buys(and more consultants).

      Also, a lot of this is coming straight from AIPAC. Every single Democrat politician that is engaging in this character assassination spree is getting money from AIPAC.

      And, since the lefty candidates tend to communicate to their base via “non traditional” means, traditional media sees them as a threat too.

      The whole manufactured controversy is just Israel’s talking points. “Antisemitism” this and “no genocide” that - these aren’t real points and it’s why AIPAC incumbents are being singled out. The situation has become overly apparent that the DNC is hamstrung by foreign interests to be ineffective.

        “Foreign interests”.

        It’s the same interests as the “natives” ruling class. It’s not about helping Israel or the USA, it’s about money, and these interests are international. The ruling class of the USA is the same ruling class of Earth, the USA is the capital (formerly UK), and Israel is as enslaved to them as the USA, it’s not the “controller”.
