    He represents AIPAC and AIPAC won the majority so I guess it makes sense that he is the speaker of the genocide supporting majority

      I saw that half circle infographic with colored dots showing the distribution of party members, but this one had AIPAC in black dots. Currently there 231 AIPAC seats to 164 independent democrats, 11 independent republicans, and 25 uncalled (idk what that means). It really showed how the real distribution of power is in the House, and why none of the problems are going to get fixed. AIPAC party members control the majority still.

        Uncalled means they’re still counting ballots.

        But yeah I’ve seen that graphic for the previous session but I haven’t seen one yet for the next one. Do you mind linking it?

        This just tells us what our work is for the next primary season though. We’re taking chunks out of the AIPAC biparty. Just need to keep biting off forkfulls until it’s enough to make a difference.

      Yerp, a Schumer/Jeffries leadership would mean more AIPAC-funded status quo and “across the aisle” appeasement/compromise.

      When will they learn that there’s no compromising with fascism?

        They’re not compromising with fascists because they are also fascists. They just think the killing, mass surveillance, genocide, undermining democracy, taking bribes, insider trading, war profiteering, attacks on civil liberties, for profit concentration camps and police militarization should be done more quietly

          And thus, why the only real solution is becoming armed and organized. Either they end up fearing us enough to make changes, or we realize our own power as a populace and make those changes by force.

      Somehow, I don’t think either Jeffries or Schumer can count on repub AIPAC votes to help them.

      The reach of israel in american politics is insane. Forget the fact that tiktok is owned by an israeli billionaire. Zohran endorsed Jefferies and now Mamdani has been acting weird endorsing it and doing nothing when he promised to arrest nethanyahu for his war crimes.

        Zohran endorsed Jefferies

        Is that true? I can’t find any sources on that outside of newsweek and politico. Got anything that isn’t a reactionary right-wing rag?
