@Codie_Sanchez You could make the same point with a much more sensible figure. 5 grand for 200k per year.
Money is meant to be spent.
Marriage has been one of the most significant life milestones across the world for millennia and there’s always been spending on the celebrations around it.
That is because Eric Adams was propelled into office by an outer borough coalition of older, working class, black, union, and moderate voters focused on crime and public safety.
Whereas Zohran won with a coalition largely comprised of younger, college-educated renters, transplants, omnicause leftists, and downwardly mobile elites.
The latter buy tribe merch at pop-ups on weekday afternoons. The former do not.
@JoeCruzNYC@VickieforNYC AIPAC does not exist to boost the image of Jews.
Jewish culture, values and beliefs have nothing to do with bagels. But people only like Jews when they lack autonomy.
@_iamblakeley@LizzySavetsky@nytimes Not according to Haaretz, which the minute they spew something intensely critical of Israel, you’ll be holding up as gospel.
GTFO with your retarded takes.
@LizzySavetsky@nytimes So fucked up. Keep doing what you’re doing. You should speak at one of the rallies outside the NYTimes, which this article conveniently does not mention.
Slowly but surely, every IDF attack that was reported by Gazan "journalists" to have "targeted civilians" will be proven to have killed combatants. The "genocide" narrative is falling apart, which is why South Africa asked for a 3 year delay. And Hamas is providing the evidence.
@TheModerateCase This is such a wily attack on Americans supporting Israel.
Contrary to your framing, it’s totally consistent to have backed Trump at the start and now be upset.
That’s not loyalty to Israel over the US.
And supporters vocally wanted Iranian regime change.
It’s entirely possible to disagree with you without AIPAC having anything to do with it.
When you say “AIPAC,” who are you really talking about?
The millions of Democrats who are AIPAC members?
Our 6.5 million grassroots members, donors, and Board of Directors, all of whom are Americans?
The broad and diverse group of citizens who hold a range of views on Israel, Gaza, American and Israeli politics, and the wars in the region, but who unite in support of a U.S.-Israel partnership that benefits America?
And if this is about money in politics, why are you talking about AIPAC members differently from any other contributors? Is our community’s participation in the political process any different from the dark-money, billionaire-funded super PAC backing your campaign or the $175,000 in PAC contributions you’ve accepted?
So who are you really talking about?
