well, quote existence beef: brad lander is a zionist investing pension funds in elbit, and not supporting bds. rather funny for a not on our dime guy, craving power makes one very quickly to abandon their alleged principles
rhetorical beefs, in order of importance:
(1) netanyahu’s war - offloads responsibility to one bad man of history, ignoring that all the polling, pisralies behavior irl and online perfectly fits netanyahu policies, the rate of refusal to go and kill in idf is around 200 people out of what 300k?
(2) an end to a genocide is a laudable goal, but rather lacking when amerikkka is the country bankrolling it (good goal for lebanon to have you know, not principal benefactor and participant). how bout bring everyone involved to justice using that nice military and laws?
(3) aipac also believes in democracy, thats why they spend so much money obfuscating the issue, swapping them for j-street guy is not per se running democracy to its course (it is in the first meaning - people getting advertised and then going into a voting booth, but it’s not in the implied meaning of freeing democracy from money-ed (foreign or not) interests)
I’m more lost than I realized- at first I read the post as a criticism of mamdani, am I just completely confused? 😅
Is the acyn account brad lander?
I think of AIPAC as dumping lots of money into political campaigns, which I don’t tend to think of as being pro-democracy (maybe pro- the dysfunctional “democracy” we have in the us today, but I don’t think thats a very democratic “democracy” 😅)
Sorry for the trouble, I recognize this is kinda context collapse, I just like trying to understand how all the folks I share space with see things and what sorts of discussions theyre having :) I find I usually learn something along the way. Don’t feel obligated to try and fill me in if its a ton of effort :)
no, it’s slop posting account, i hoped (?) that the inclusion of braddie lander posters in the screenshot will provide context that it is mamdani campaigning for him (a zionist), with that phrasing.
you don’t think that, but people running the countries do. and j-street (aipac with a human face) also dumps money into the elections, so it’s not one single monster, but rather interconnected mesh of interests tugging voters into needed directions, and if they disobey somewhere once - thats what all the other representatives are for and there is always a next election.
Forgive me for not following, does something about the quote read as “shit-lib” to folks?
(I’m asking sincerely, tone is hard over the internet but I like trying to understand how different people see things)
