They got the satisfaction of standing behind a staunch group of party donors and private sector hiring partners. AIPAC will continue to dump millions into the coffers of your Richie Torries and your Dean Phillips types. They’ll pick up recruits like Wesley Bell and George Latimer, thinning the ranks of progressives in The Squad. They’ll turn ex-Dems into private sector influence peddlers on their behalf. And they’ll continue to work hand-in-glove with the MIC to guarantee enormous sums of money flow into the Middle Eastern arms trade, which is good news for every Dem with a contracting firm hiring in their district (basically all of them).
This might seem like it sucks for the party in this cycle. But its the sort of position that guarantees careers in party leadership and future opportunities at higher office for each given individual party official’s life. Going against AIPAC is a career ender on both sides of the aisle. Going with the flow means you’ll be hanging out in the Senate cloak room getting sucked off with your friends well into your 90s.
Its a good thing Democrats were consistent in expressing their full throated support for Israel this election cycle.
Not only did they take the mask off with their support of genocide: they still fucking lost and got absolutely nothing for it
“We sacrificed our morals when it came to genocide, and all we got was this lousy Trump presidency”
Yep. I wanted Trump to lose, but if the establishment Dems get lined up against a wall and shot, I won’t be shedding a fucking tear.
Because the war machine demands blood. Genocide is an American thing, not a presidential one
