Why Kat Abughazaleh lost her race due to APIC spending in that primary. The person who got the nom took a ton of their money.
And it isn't going away. This is how our elected officials funnel our taxpayers money int their pockets. Why do you think they vote to give Israeli billions of dollars each year.
Daniel Biss says he didn't take any AIPAC money but was also not willing to denounce aid to Israel on the same level as Kat did. I haven't looked enough into whether or not he accepted shadow money from AIPAC, but its very telling that AIPAC celebrated his win over Kat even though their opebly funded candidate Laura Fine lost.
Laura Fine took a ton of AIPAC money to split the vote from Kat. They were also paying influencers $1500 a post to disparage Kat. She's Palestinian, so they threw millions against her in the final days of the race to ensure democracy didn't function.
He's not their friend, but she was openly their enemy. And they want to take credit for it, to maintain the sense that they call the shots.
They campaigned against Biss and I think he said he wants conditions on aid to Israel (which is currently unconditional).
This is not a win in any way for AIPAC, but the loss would have been bigger if Kat had won, which she nearly did, so I guess that's something?
I didn't realize they already had their primary. That's disappointing. I wanted to kick some money her way before the election. Too late now.
