Some credit Bell’s victory to grassroots efforts that unified St. Louis Jews across all denominations and political preferences.

      With other sources, mbfc let me review the source myself, putting in user data. This one? not so much.

      If AIPAC is grassroots, I guess it’s a factual article, but then what isn’t grassroots at that point? Is grass even grass?

    American Jews as a group, are incredibly civically connected on all levels of local, state, and federal government. We vote in the highest percentages every election be it primary or general, across all American minority groups, and we overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

      This primary race had the first or second most money spent on it in American history from one lobbying group, AIPAC. This group spent more money than anyone else ever has to unseat an incumbent in a primary, and they did it in 2 races this year.

      No one, absolutely no one at all, is going to buy a “this is totally just grassroots organizing, my Bros.” That’s ludicrous spin. Using a Trump style “some credit/some people are saying” qualifier before your laughable premise isnt helping either.

        The name for the sort of qualifier you’re referring to is a weasel word. And as you note, AIPAC swamped both this primary and the primary of Jamaal Bowman with millions upon millions of dollars because they would dare rightfully point out that Israel is committing a genocide and ask them to stop it.
