We're not talking about States. We're talking about House districts. brooklynite Nov 2023 #11

Democrats should be behind President Biden and justice and safety and security for all people involved. sjr2323 Nov 2023 #45

AFAIK, Israeli politics were deeply divided before this horrible event. OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2023 #77

These Justice Democrats got their deep blue seats by primarying moderate democrats LetMyPeopleVote Nov 2023 #53

Funny, isn't it mcar Nov 2023 #75

I have also been amused by this LetMyPeopleVote Nov 2023 #76

Exactly! Nixie Nov 2023 #78

DAMN! elleng Nov 2023 #4

I imagine that AIPAC will lose. Autumn Nov 2023 #5

👍 Deuxcents Nov 2023 #28

Seems like another round of Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2023 #71

AIPAC is NOT a Dem ally. in 2022 they endorsed over 100 Republicans who refused to certify Biden's election Celerity Nov 2023 #7

Thanks for posting SocialDemocrat61 Nov 2023 #10

I forgot to also single out their endorsement of MAGAt Mike Johnson, the new christofash Speaker of the House Celerity Nov 2023 #12

AIPAC-endorsed Democrats who didn't brooklynite Nov 2023 #22

really problematic look, trying to excuse over 100 endorsements of insurrectionists with classic whataboutism Celerity Nov 2023 #26

"AIPAC is NOT a Dem ally" brooklynite Nov 2023 #32

They clearly are not, on balance. No actual ally of ours (and of American democracy in general) would endorse Celerity Nov 2023 #35

That's a remarkably naive thing for you to say. muriel_volestrangler Nov 2023 #47

As I said in the OP, I don't care about the outcome of Safe D seats... brooklynite Nov 2023 #50

I think the important thing here is to stop you painting AIPAC as a "Dem ally" muriel_volestrangler Nov 2023 #54

This! redqueen Nov 2023 #63

This, and didn't some of the squad vote against the President's signature Nixie Nov 2023 #69

I assume they are looking for primary opponents. Tomconroy Nov 2023 #9

see this from the article the OP posted: Celerity Nov 2023 #34

AOC responded RainWalker Nov 2023 #13

The one I worry for the most is the wonderful Summer Lee. AIPAC and other dark money entitles spent millions in the Celerity Nov 2023 #15

I really like her RainWalker Nov 2023 #19

Some on here would love to she her booted out in the primary, same for every one (all are PoC btw) on AIPAC's hit list. Celerity Nov 2023 #38

Again I see NOTHING AOC says kwolf68 Nov 2023 #25

They have spent large amounts of money promoting candidates that have literally called for the execution of gay people dsc Nov 2023 #16

The Squad will be fine. BlueCheeseAgain Nov 2023 #17

More focus/knowledge of AIPAC is a good thing. David__77 Nov 2023 #18

Good luck! Hope we can get some great new Democratic reps in these seats! tritsofme Nov 2023 #24

So the ones we currently have aren't great? Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2023 #72

I think the primaries can deliver us a huge upgrade! tritsofme Nov 2023 #80

Pretty telling, "no interest." cachukis Nov 2023 #29

We all lost interest when we are preparing to die, DemocraticPatriot Nov 2023 #42

I Hope They Hold Through, Sir The Magistrate Nov 2023 #33

Can I just say, I LOVE you for that-- not for the "hold through" but for the reasoning lostnfound Nov 2023 #87

Depending on the district it might also hurt candidates to be supported by AIPAC JI7 Nov 2023 #39

I don't support the Squad's position here, but AIPAC can pound sand JCMach1 Nov 2023 #40

brooklynite's position seems entirely consistent FBaggins Nov 2023 #48

When did we stop listening to other opinions? Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2023 #43

What happens in those "SAFE D" seats often have far-reaching impacts. W_HAMILTON Nov 2023 #44

Tlaib is pretty much the only one I would I would not shed a tear over if she lost a primary. That said, Celerity Nov 2023 #46

Her's the funny thing about "the Squad" dwayneb Nov 2023 #55

I have been following the Justice Democrat group for a long time and I disagree with their goals LetMyPeopleVote Nov 2023 #57

And yet, the Justice Democrats in office are ridiculously loyal to the party Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2023 #73

I am on the Justice Democrat email list LetMyPeopleVote Nov 2023 #74

LOL Oopsie Daisy Nov 2023 #79

Where have their votes been costly? Cuthbert Allgood Nov 2023 #84

LOL. I guess that we have different interpretations of your phrase "ridiculously loyal". Oopsie Daisy Nov 2023 #86

People who are giddy about this are the same who clutched their pearls whenever a challenge Autumn Nov 2023 #58

When was a Primary challenge against Manchin ever mentioned? brooklynite Nov 2023 #59

Very often. I'm shocked you are not aware of those discussions. Autumn Nov 2023 #60

Just did a search and didn't find anything... brooklynite Nov 2023 #61

Maybe you were busy with the movers and shakers? Autumn Nov 2023 #66

I don't remember any "pearl clutching" tritsofme Nov 2023 #82

I wonder what people would think if ARPAC RainWalker Nov 2023 #65

They probably are. They just don't advertise it so brazenly. Crunchy Frog Nov 2023 #81

lol what nonsense. tritsofme Nov 2023 #83
