The committee has largely kept quiet about the Green party nominee. But that’s now changing.

“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”

    If too many voters decide to go against Democrats now because they are disgusted by the Democrats support for the many heinous atrocities committed by the Netanyahu government, it would force the Democrats to reevaluate that position and force AIPAC influence out, to regain credibility with the people.

    I wish that would happen, but if Democrats lost this cycle, do you believe they would immediately link back to this particular issue?

    I fear that the United States would find itself consumed in pressing domestic issues if Harris were to lose. Over the past several years we’ve already been witnessing the rapid spread of disinformation, a poorly-handled pandemic, increasing racism, xenophobia, and violence, as well as women suffering from lack of reproductive care. As much as I’d hope that a democratic loss led to a disconnect from AIPAC, I imagine a presidential loss at this time wouldn’t change that. Rather, it could force relevant local issues to overshadow issues of foreign influence (which, if history tells us anything, certainly wouldn’t decrease if Trump returned to power.)
