It is insane that the Democrats allow super PACs like AIPAC to spend millions in their primaries — only for those same special interests to help elect Republicans in the general election.
My message to Democratic leaders: Ban super PACs from Democratic primaries NOW.
Two 2028 candidates lobbied against this DNC resolution condemning AIPAC. It failed.
Anyone who wants to lead this party must condemn and reject AIPAC money.
They should also pledge not to have a Super PAC in Democratic primaries.
I take no PAC money and have no Super PAC.

@BCLegalScholar@SteveKornacki Ah yes, the classic “everyone I disagree with is a communist” take. Or, hear me out… Voters evaluated their options and made a choice. That’s usually how elections work.
@JeffGoldklang@SteveKornacki Calling it a “back door” because moderates split their own vote is an interesting way of saying voters made a choice you didn’t like. That’s not a flaw in democracy it’s literally how it works. If a candidate wins under the agreed-upon rules, the outcome reflects the electorate.
@JeffGoldklang@SteveKornacki Voters choosing change isn’t a “back door,” it’s democracy. If an insurgent is leading without machine support, that suggests real grassroots energy. The general will test it, but dismissing primary voters rarely ages well.
They took his gun off of him, the one he was legally allowed to carry, and THEN they shot him in the back of the head while he was on his hands and knees.
@jenngradybklyn@2RawTooReal Democratic socialism is about economic justice, union power, affordable housing, and public safety that’s not based on criminalization. Those aren’t “supremacist” values those are survival values. If we want to beat the right, we need a party that actually delivers for people.
@jenngradybklyn@2RawTooReal The future of the Democratic Party depends on whether we stay connected to working class voters, especially Black and brown communities who are the backbone of the party.
