        Not accepted AIPAC money in the first place.

          That is also out of the context of discussing what the Democrats should have done about this betrayal. I don’t disagree with you, but it is completely out of scope.

        Ideally, figuring this out and taking this action before the primary would have been good. A lot of people had to spend a lot of money and effort to get Abdul over her insane AIPAC ad spend.

          Sure, that would have been ideal, but I don’t think it was practical unless you’re suggesting people knew this was coming and did nothing to prevent it.

            I voted against her for her in the primary because I could tell she was functionally more Zionist-aligned than Democrat-aligned. I feel like it wasn’t that hard to see, given the tens of millions of AIPAC funding.

              The current context was someone saying about this being the least they could do.
