JIMMY DORE: YOU CAN’T VOTE YOUR WAY OUT OF AIPAC’S GRIP
Voters frustrated with AIPAC’s influence elected a Democratic majority that included candidates with no AIPAC ties. Yet Democrats handed leadership to Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, two of the party’s biggest recipients of AIPAC backing.
@jimmy_dore argues that this exposes the limits of the ballot box: voters can change who wins without changing whose interests lead Congress.
Pro-Israel, pro-Zionist, and pro-war interests have penetrated both parties. Even DSA candidates’ poor track records give voters little reason to trust them to break that influence.
