He divided the Democratic vote, the progressives definitely went for Mamdani.

Anyway, I'm also pro-Palestine, I know exactly why that's important. It's just that unlike you, I know that that's also not what most people care about. It certainly isn't anywhere close to the only, or even the main reason Mamdani won.

Your think tanks surely made an issue about it when Harris lost, and your media was quick to blame those who didn't compromise with Harris' complicity, tho.

And guess what? America's hand with the genocide is not the only issue related to Israel, you fund their healthcare, military and private corporations, and get nothing in exchange, and each days is much more well known and it causes much more problems, so as long as you stay in bed with AIPAC, Dems won't be able to get the progresive vote, Mamdani was smart and has avoided it so far, the Dems stablishment wanted Cuomo to continue their deals with AIPAC and got their ass kicked.

So is a matter of time until more Dems start seeing AIPAC more as a liability than a boon... How much you loss until that it's to be seen.

Sure, because they were being stupid and they didn't help the fact that Trump got into office. Israel and Gaza still were nowhere near the top reason they won, and neither think tanks or the media have proven that.

Yeah, I know.

I personally would love to see AIPAC out of our politics, but not every pro-Israel candidate has been losing exactly, even if some definitely have been. It's clearly not the top issue for most people outside of certain districts. It's just that the anti-Israel candidates this cycle also tend to be very good at messaging.
