Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Summer Lee, AOC (though she’s compromised with the party leadership on Israel’s genocide to an abhorrent degree nonetheless), Ayanna Presley, Cory Bush (successfully primaried over it) and Jamaal Bowman (ditto), and everyone else not listed here.
They’re a small minority for sure, but they exist and pretending otherwise just feeds into the manipulative establishment “electability” narrative that they use to poison the public against progressive candidates.
For example, there is a New York state congress versus the US Federal Congress, they probably meant a distinction there because obviously state congressmen won’t get very much PAC money.
Oh of course; in that case then Sanders, AOC, Warren, Jayapal, Omar, Tlaib.
There are some others who have really low amounts of donations, like Tim Walz which I’ll let slide; but if looking at FEC reports of the top offenders like Jeffries and Schumer, they’ve got millions from AIPAC.
Huge correlation with AIPAC being their top donors, fyi.
Find me a politician on the US national stage who isn’t funded by AIPAC.
Massie doesn’t count.

I find it incredibly ironic and enlightening that the one Jewish congressperson I can name off the top of my head is on this list.
What do you mean national stage? Because I can think of at least a handful.
I mean someone who’s actually been featured in national news, and would be known across the country.

Can you please explain the last line? I’d like to be more informed.
the last they want is non-aligned democrat to israel.
They’d rather throw the election to the republicans than see a democrat who isn’t pro-Israel.
NYC has a habit of choosing a REPUBLICAN quite alot.
And that right there is the the key! Is Sirius about serving their corporate masters and their deep pockets
ORIN?
