House Democrats who voted against cutting US aid to Israel received three times as much money from pro-Israel donors as those who voted in favor. (Median = 3.1 times as much.)
Democrats who voted against the amendment accepted an average of $348,239; those who voted in favor received $115,932 on average. All together, $34 million in pro-Israel cash was behind the votes against cutting aid to Israel.
Did the money actually buy votes? Or did the money simply help keep in office politicians who are comfortable ignoring voters?1 Neither option is very good.
It was never direct AIPAC spending that kept them in office…
It was Hillary’s “Victory Fund” which stole money from state parties and offered crumbs back with strings. Which itself was funded by pro-Israel donors along with people like Donald Trump.
From 1995 to 2025, going against Israel made Israel complain to the DNC. And then the DNC cut off funding to the whole state.
That stopped in 2025, and the DNC has been dumping all that money back on every state party. The only favoritism, is states with a lot of Republican seats to gain are getting extra.
100%, string free funding.
Some of those state parties are still run by corrupt neolibs that are pro-Israel.
But we have a bottom-up DNC again, the DNC isn’t going to tell a state party what to do. That’s the job of Dem voters in those states, and we need to do our fucking part.
That’s the main reason there’s such a push against the party right now. Oligar hs want us to think we can’t win the battles after we just won the war
Bottoms up until they get back into power, then back to the status quo. Democrats can never be trusted
Binary choice, my dude. Can they be trusted more than the single alternative?
Maybe binary choice for you, but it’s not binary if it’s 2 factions fighting for the same ideology
It’s binary unless voters change the voting system like NYC, Maine, and Alaska voters. We’ve proved that we can change the system. The bigger fight is to change the voting system.
More Democrats voted for the amendment than against it. To pretend the two parties are the same is absurd. Yes, both are bad, but so is getting slapped in the face and shot in the leg.
Republicans tell us they are trash, Democrat are covert about it
And then there’s Republicans, can’t vote for them.

The war never stops. Its an important victory if we can take advantage of it.
