They may be turning specifically on AIPAC, but they will gladly still be taking J St money. They'll just call it something different and nothing will change.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Democratic party members or democratic party voters? There's a huge difference
"publicly turning"
Aipac still funneling a lot of them money through other pacs. They like to use progressive pacs like "women for Congress" Or "people of color united"
So you think those donations come from women or progressive organizations or something.
Nope. It's aipac.
Slimy fuckers aren't they ?
I have to admit to vastly underestimating how deeply Israel is dug into our government. Kinda got that foreign money was a big problem, but this is next level.
And to say things like Israel runs our government and runs our media is supposedly anti Semitic.
They really are everywhere on both sides.
Yeah I didn't realize how bad it was until this last year.
They basically control 90% of the seats in Congress and house.
Not to mention governors. Mayors. State prosecutors. Judges.
It's insane.
They played the long game. Until a few years ago, supporting Israel wasn't politically toxic.
Fuck Israel fuck trump fuck Russia
You know AIPAC overwhelmingly donates more to Democrats than they do Republicans. 7of the top ten recipients are Democrat.
Wow why do you have to get all political?!
/s
Sorry JD
Mmhm. I’ll believe it when I see any votes to the contrary.
A self--described Zionist turning down AIPAC money seems like he was going to do what they want, anyway, and just wants AIPAC to spend their money on candidates who need to be bought.
Not just any Zionist, a “liberal Zionist”. That means they believe Israel has the right to kill and steal Palestinian land but they need to hide it better like before.
Vote em out until you get people who do
Foreign interference affecting individual US politicians, and especially allowing foreign money to influence US elections, is the number one thing I think needs to change about the American government. More important even than stopping the MAGA movement.
I would support a constitutional amendment that categorizes politicians accepting money from groups like AIPAC as treason.
Mexico just made it so anyone getting political money from foreigners is removed from office and can't win an election.
It just sounds like common sense. And yet. It's not the standard.
About time
BlueMAGA, now .000000001 percent less MAGA, but still BlueMAGA. Nothing but theater here, dont foRgEt tO VoTE BbLUeE!
Yup, still Zionist.
