A Democratic National Committee member is proposing a symbolic resolution for consideration at a DNC meeting next month to reject the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s massive spending on Congressional races.
The measure, sponsored by a young DNC member from Florida, could put party leaders on the spot about the pro-Israel lobbying group’s outsized role in Democratic primaries.
A lobbying behemoth that for decades courted lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, AIPAC has become an increasingly toxic brand in the Democratic Party.
In recent years, Israeli leaders and their backers in Washington have become more closely aligned with Republican politicians. At the same time, however, AIPAC’s super PAC has focused tens of millions in spending on Democratic primary races.
I feel like politicians are completely unaware of the fact they can take money from everyone and still ignore them and vote the way they were elected to.
Like, lobbying is basically a targeted advertisement to politicians.
They act like advertisement is some kind of law they have to follow.
So they’re either morons or they’re deliberately corrupt. Either way, it ain’t being good at their job. Any other job they’d be fired.
