I mean he’s an abbot, so spreading a/s tropes is his métier. AIPAC still sucks

I hate election denialism but leftishly

isn’t this guy Like This in general

Just when I thought the Abbott couldn't get any worse. (Blocked forever ago, as you both mention.)

Yes stealing and buying are different

They weren’t trying to steal it they were trying to buy it

what a fucking piss baby

I genuinely hope that i never go crank enough for people to screenshot my ass and they'll just tell me to knock it off first. * That has happened btw and they did tell me to knock it off, I made a whole apology post and everything. It's why BlueSky rules

This asshole is airing his ignorance, racism, and anti-Semitism for all to see. Thank you for posting this.

Sadly, many lefty people believe that ONLY THEY are able to see through advertising and propaganda, and that everyone else around them is a stupid lemming and sheep. The pervasiveness of this problem is a big reason why black voters don't support progressives as much as progressives wish they did.

I don't understand how Mallory McMorrow figures into this

it doesn't because literally nobody was confused about what he meant. You're just whining.

Everybody loves a sore winner

This dude sucks so hard.

(((Stealing)))

the abbott, like the trackaipac lady in germany, is a former republican &/or conservative, who desperately wants to go back.

I don’t think our democracy can survive as long as people with enough money can just buy up airtime to repeat lies over and over. Fox News, for example, just shouldn’t exist. Just because entities can achieve the same outcome with technically-legal means, doesn’t make it not-theft, and not-wrong.

there is a thick grey area between lying in ads and scamming. And then another thick grey area between scamming and stealing. There may be some distance between lying in ads and stealing but it's all in the same direction..

Exactly. Thank you.

Maybe your contempt would be a sufficient reason to let slide the impulse to "but akshually" someone mistaking *purchasing* an election for *stealing* an election.

if he hates AIPAC so much he should surely not support the candidate they've endorsed to succeed pelosi... hold on i'm getting a note

Anytime that one person-one vote democracy is subverted, it is theft. The Electoral College is theft. So is gerrymandering. So is Citizens United.

There are few honest electoral victories of what I call "moderaterrorists". We aren't talking about ballot manipulation but tilting the rules by lying to voters. This is very important for the left-wing cause but the rules-obsessed quasi-left-but-really-right lanyarders will never understand!

That guy’s been an antisemitic creep for a while. He’s on several lists for it.

I don’t think people see that distinction.

also like ... the people who voted for mcmorrow presumably _knew_ she was out and gone, and just didn't like either other option. they wouldn't have voted for AES if-not-for-her. that kind of thinking is cope and the refuge of a scoundrel.

Leftwing candidates tend to be very well funded. The donor class absolutely loves them, they rake in money from millionaires and billionaires. But that's never subverting the will of the people. That money is pure.

It’s like the “my favored idea has not taken hold among the public the way I believe it should, therefore it was censored” grievance.

Hoping El-Sayed can walk the line In the general! It’s not wrong to center your campaign on “my opponent is bought by AIPAC”, but it invokes this perception.

"swinging" seems like a muxh more appropriate term

I think I blocked him or vice versa over him being an insane Platner stan.

Crypto PACS plan to spend $200M on the midterms while AI PACs will be throwing in millions as well. Lots of groups out there trying to influence outcomes.

Maybe it was PalPac stuffing the ballot boxes !!!!!!! PalPac money is okay. Just not aipac.. What do we call that kids ? Antisemitism Funny aipac is the only pac anyone talks about as bad. Not Bernie’s. Not the palis. Not Hogg’s. Just aipac. 🧐 bsky.app/profile/vote...

Michigan voter and campaign contributor here. Many here wonder if AIPAC contributions helped or hurt HS, therefore reducing or increasing AES votes. Many regular people cited AIPAC money as key reason to vote for AES. Some wonder if AES is AIPAC-preferred candidate vs. Rogers. Good questions all.

Why do you have “contempt” for AIPAC?

I am totally uncomfortable with foreign agents influencing elections under the guise of being local.

I think they should not be able to do what they do, but I do think that calling it stealing is counterproductive

Arguably, there’s a threshold of wealth beyond which elections may not be stolen but clearly bought.

I hate that people seem incapable of distinguishing "PACs should be banned, all of them" from "every chance that My Guy might lose is actually a PAC stealing the votes."

PACs spending hundreds of millions on ads, while not literally stealing, is pretty bad though!! I thought we hated this type of shit

They’re not stealing it, they’re buying it, which is Technically Legal 🙄

I’d like less money spent on ads and outreach, some sort of standard playing field where more money doesn’t equal more noise.

Buying would be a better word

Spending a lot of money to lie to people so they give "bad" people power is bad, but it's not stealing, no.

As a Canadian, it's two things: 1. It is deranged that you allow private entities to spend this amount of money on politics, legitimately democracy-warping nonsense. Dictatorship stuff. 2. It's still not "cheating", and the particular application of the label to AIPAC stinks a bit more than normal

Ah yes, the old “Jewish Conspiracy” trope.

Also "one Mallory McMorrow" oh fuck AWF

Maybe learn a little about AIPAC before you shit on them. youtube.com/shorts/DtDzM...

Explain why you have contempt for AIPAC.
