That's because AIPAC is bribing everyone in congress. What about the 200+ republican stooges who voted adamantly to continue this pathetic charade?

It would be right in line with AIPAC to run ads against themselves now that it's clear the wind is blowing against them. They have no human morals or values, simply an insectile level drive for nationalism, and certainly not united states nationalism.

Just because we are talking about democrats being assholes, doesnt mean Republicans aren't too. This is like the inverse version of "everyone's lives matter" when discussing black lives matter.

All of these pricks need to get primaried by DSA candidates for their next term, or it basically proves that even our "left" party has been co-opted by fascists and are simply placations to prevent true change.

Haley Stevens is already gone and just serving out her worthless lame duck session, so there is that, at least.

The point of the original post is to dogwhistle that AIPAC is a democrat problem and I'm taking the ten seconds to explain that AIPAC is a pervasive problem affecting our entire government.

I think dogwhistle is a bit strong. They are being specific about democrats because the democratic party voting for this should have required absolutely 0 brain cells, and they are pointing out the possible reason for the cognitive dissonance.

Anyone paying half attention knows aipac is a problem with republicans as well, but we didn't expect them to vote to impeach hegseth because of tribalism alone, no need for further explanation.

The audience of the message was democratic voters, to reign in their party, not to the entire voting populace.
