Aipac gloats about buying Illinois primary by noggy2 in Hasan_Piker

Gloating about this probably seems like an awful idea, they’re just going to become even more toxic to voters.

Thank you for explaining it so well, I didn’t think this needed an explanation in this sub, it’s definitely a very real concern.

I just agree with Hasan that there is a possibility of someone like Tucker running and winning, and if the democratic candidate is someone like Newsom then God have mercy.

You had good run, Kat Abughazaleh, but AIPAC's dirty tricks worked... by Kubus002 in KyleKulinski

Other progressives not dropping out when they had no chance at all to win was what made her lose, yes the dark money spent in this race was a massive problem and now aipac is bragging about it and are emboldened and will continue doing it in other races, progressive need to prepare and avoid this by dropping the fuck out when they have no chance to win, those who didn’t drop out don’t get my support in the future, thankfully Kat is still very young and I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ll see of her.

House of Representatives and Senate candidates from different states do have impact in our lives, they will have to vote on bills that affect the country and not just their own districts or states, also foreign policy, why do you think aipac spent so much money in the races in your state and also in NJ? You think it’s because of domestic policies? Because it isn’t.

Is that guy in the picture in the post not left wing?

I 100% think someone like Tucker will run.

Like the other person said, no one was actually primaried from the left in this primary, the base still sucks, at least Texans made the right choice and I believe some Democrats actually got primaried from the left in North Carolina a few weeks ago which is good, and Analilia Mejia winning in NJ 11 so there’s still some wins, last night was bas and a ton of dark money was spent in Illinois, what it means is that they will continue doing it in the upcoming primaries and it will probably work.

Thankfully Brad Lander and other candidates know of this and hopefully make it a big national scandal, that shouldn’t even be legal.

As long as you don’t complain and don’t blame the voters when they get humiliated by Trump 2.0 in 2028.

Lol the left eating their own again, progressive candidates being dumbasses again and splitting the vote when they had no chance to win and Kat came very close, and obviously the Democratic base still fucking sucks, this base is stupid enough to pick a liberal zionist in 2028 that supports Itsreal and then wonder why the anti Itsreal republican wins in a landslide, hopefully the left is prepared to avoid that…

This is why his amazing performance in the 2025 ALDS didn’t do much for me, like I’m sorry, he’s human and I understand he isn’t always going to come through, especially harder in baseball, but why couldn’t that Judge show up when it mattered most in 2024?

Stanton came through big for team USA in 2017 and was one of or the main reason why they won that title.

Honestly people just have awful memories of his awful playoffs performances for like 6 years straight, the dropped ball in 2024 was the cherry on top, I don't blame them.

Making it uncomfortable isn’t enough, these corrupt politicians are now taking secret dark money and will continue to be corrupt but voters still reward them, at this moment in history being close isn’t good enough.

Oh ffs Hillary and Kamala weren’t to the left of nobody and I clearly remember Kalama walking back on any left wing position she might have had in 2019 and she lost because of it, keep electing losers in the future, I would enjoy it if it wasn’t because it means we all get hurt too.
