The reason is simple: they knew her primary opponent was unlikely to win given her fundraising and the riding's demography, nevermind her polling, and that of her opponent. Meanwhile, like a lawyer conscious of their track record, AIPAC wants to cherry pick relatively sure things to maintain it, whereas Ilhan Omar's riding was definitely less than even money. A political influence group is a lot more imposing if it can accurately brag (as it does) that its 2024 primary candidates have never lost a contest.
It's not clear how to fight AIPAC, except to spread the truth to affect public opinion, so that their millions of dollars to buy votes buys fewer. Another option would be to better organize fundraising for the anti-genocide candidates, but there seem fewer big donors for them.
I'm in favor of it, but don't think it'll help. How will it affect the millions they spend?
I'm agreeing I'd like to see them, but how much attention would they get? What would they do? Would anyone change their opinion on AIPAC? Not the donors, so the money keeps flowing... AIPAC is on the verge of getting the government to ban any such protests anyway... they already outlawed things like boycotting the country (the only country in the world with that protection taking away Americans' rights).Protests wouldn't stop the money flowing, but they would attract attention to the problems created by AIPAC. Gotta start somewhere.
Most states already outlaw boycotting them, in the last year they got Congress to say all criticism of them is "anti-Semitism" to make is subject to laws against anti-Semitism, they got University presidents including Harvard fired for allowing protests, they've gotten police to allow violent attacks of pro-Palestinians protests... thankfully the opposition remains, even if the protests seem much fewer.
You're the 2nd person I'm responding to since being gone for 43 days.
I guess if Zionists control the White House they must have allowed it. It might not be all about the Jews and the Benjamins.
Whatever you may feel about them or Oman's politics, let's keep it real; when it comes to dumb, they're definitely not beating out the Zionist Michael Sinensky, one of the primary organizers of her opposition, who would sooner align with what he admitted to be Nazis (and insanely referred to the Ukrainians as an example of such) than the 'socialist, Marxist, anarchists' he absurdly hallucinated Ilhan as being.
Bummer.
Heres an idea, how about you libs dont run anti-Semitic a-holes like Fire Marshall Bowman and Cori Bush. Then AIPAC will spend their money elsewhere.
The best?? The best at what?? Inbreeding?
