It’s no coincidence that Shannon Watts, Neera Tanden, Magdi Jacobs and others were pushing the “Abdul is misogynistic” line the day before AIPAC launched this ad.
These people aren’t just nutbags obsessed with punching left. They seem to be part of a larger propaganda network:
Wolf Blitzer has Elie Wiesel's son Elisha on to use Holocaust Remembrance™ to attack the DSA, champion Israel, call for internet censorship to suppress anti-Semitism, and push for restrictions on crypto.
He also says critics of Israel are giving a "gift" to "the Nazis and Hamas" by calling Israel's war on Gaza a genocide.
A good politico can argue for their position on their terms, but a great politico can argue for their position on *their opponent’s* terms. It’s something I’ve learned from canvassing, you have to argue for your candidate within the parameters of the voter’s flawed worldview.
@ZFlawles1s@Axerixing She can challenge Bennet in two years. It’s not impossible to learn from loss, Obama lost his first federal election in a landslide.
Among the more absurd pro-Israel guys here is the School Supt. of Kiryas Joel, one of the most socially backward towns in the US due to its conservative Orthodox Jewish majority, w extensive sex segregation & mob attacks for religious offenses, who calls Palestinians retrograde.

New: Mayor Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were in closer touch than previously known before they issued their weighty endorsements in NYC's June primaries.
One source described their talks as a "coordinated" strategy (that very much paid off). https://t.co/aLxMr8g9xD
@PENELOPTICON What else was she supposed to even do in her primary.
Her opponent was the Arizona Senate minority leader, former party chair and had the CPC PAC, WFP Super PAC, Pop-up PACs, Latino PAC, union PACs etc supporting her!
Ngl I would have done the same and ditched AIPAC after it.

Extremely funny that Ansari, until then a solid progressive, leaned hard into support for Israel to get a billion dollars in DMFI/AIPAC spending and VERY narrowly (39 votes!) beat Raquel Teran, only to immediately pivot back into being normal afterwards
