    I mean that obviously isn’t true, that’s what this whole article and comment section is about. Democratic candidates standing up to AIPAC.

    Now if you said almost as much, I would give you a pass.

      It just means that it’s cheaper for them to lobby Republicans than Democrats as the former are predisposed to unconditionally supporting Israel. As a result, 58.6% of AIPAC congressional lobbying went to Democrats in 2024.

      Not that resistance isn’t building against AIPAC, but the central Democratic Party is far less anti-AIPAC than candidates like El-Sayed.
