I don’t think there is much to worry about them at this stage. Perhaps during the primary elections there was a divide between viable candidates, but now that we’re in the generals you get to choose between Red or Blue and no matter what AIPAC spends that difference is night and day on the topic of Israel and Palestine.
AIPAC is the reason Corpo Democrats are still so slow to endorse progressive candidates like Abdul El-Sayed. The Democratic Party should be unified in their support of Dem candidates, but they very much are not solely because of AIPAC and the topic of Isreal.
If the call to action is to contact a DNC rep and ask them to do what is already in the DNC platform, banning PACs and undoing the Citizens United decision while also strengthening elections against outside influences, then great. If the call is to be enraged about a DNC candidate right before the midterm then fuck off.

Abdul El-Sayed is DNC, not GOP for a reason. Removing a “Corpo Dem” in the generals is asinine.
How is AIPAC influence over the election not “much to worry about?” At the very least it’s important to know where to look next time.
