Are you really arguing that congressmen don’t have massive influence compared to ordinary people? That is my only point.

Maybe if you keep being a pedantic twat on Bluesky they’ll have you on the news, at town halls, maybe they’ll even put your face in flyers and yard signs! What good are elected officials anyway?

AIPAC supposedly supports a 2SS too.

Duckworth took money directly from AIPAC. It’s not accurate that JStreet is opposed to AIPAC though are less extreme.

No you're right! Keep posting bro you're just as influential as a congressional rep after all.

Technically true because those senators don't REPresent us, they are bought by AIPAC

"Congress" includes the house and senate. shut the fuck up.

Update your database, bot

tammy duckworth, dick durbin, jan schakowsky ,i live here jackass

do you really not understand that elected officials have a much bigger platform and ability to get national attention than just some joe-schmoe does? This Kat hate is so forced and tiring.

Biss was very pro Israel until very recently (see linked video). Duckworth’s 3rd largest donor in 2024 was AIPAC. There’s no lie here and this has nothing to do with any antisemitic conspiracy. www.instagram.com/reel/DQE6Bnc...

Duckworth has in fact taken money from Israel PACs, I genuinely do not understand your point. It makes sense that she would endorse one of the candidates who are at least somewhat pro Israel.

Difference between what? On second look she DID in fact receive money from AIPAC specifically btw. There’s quite a few others (NORPAC, CUFI, etc) that are basically the same thing, that’s why I mention it.

I saw this post and it makes no sense. Duckworth has received funding from pro Israel pacs according to Open Secrets (maybe not AIAPC specifically? who cares).

And yes, that is Kat. Biss might not be pro Israel *enough* for AIPAC nowadays, but he sure has tried www.instagram.com/reel/DQE6Bnc...

So obviously that Fine poll was bs, so can we please rally behind the only viable non-AIPAC candidate now?

Man I'm so goddamn sick of ai. "Wahhh you can't have a reasonable conversation about ai on here," yeah maybe be mad about the two year parade of scam artists and financial charlatans and environmental ruiners who have radicalized everyone against the spell check that agrees with you

Can she get any worse?

Somebody shoulda told Bernard

I don’t disagree, but this is clearly a race between Biss and Kat and I’m not throwing my vote away. I like Mike and preferred him in the beginning but it’s clearly not a winning ticket.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

gee i wonder if the nra will speak up for the right to not be murdered by the state for legally carrying a concealed weapon

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

He doesn’t need an excuse for anything HES ALREADY DOING IT

People who are scared of big cities have it backward. The closer you are to your neighbors the better you are at seeing them as human. The people who are scared of “random shootings” in the cities are also sniping lost teens in their driveways in the exurbs.

Opinion | Mamdani’s Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

All time "Oh no I said the quiet part loud" champion Ross Douthat 🤦‍♂️🤣

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
