“Jamaal and our movement were such a threat to right-wing power, to GOP megadonors, and to AIPAC’s influence in Congress that they had to spend $15 million to defeat us,” said one progressive organizer.
Yeah, AIPAC thinks they’re making an example, but all they’ve done as far as I’m concerned is put a spotlight on exactly the type of politician we need to start trying to fix the party. Bowman lost, but he stands as proof that what he was doing was effective.
Good takeaway.
