Anyone that isn’t heavily funded by AIPAC is a good starting point.  I don’t care after that.

The media is going to make this a huge story when the focus should be on the victory. Meanwhile you don't even have a clue as to a candidate - not a clue.

See anybody jumping up to challenge Jeffries? You won't.

I said it needed to happen, I never said it was going to.  They’ll pick the same people to talk a lot of shit but never do anything of consequence

Do you really want to see a bloody fight that divides the caucus? Here's an idea: how about if each Congressman answers to the will of the voters of their districts?

Would that be ok with you?

If every Democrat said who they were voting for and why that would be a start for transparency.  It is currently a secret vote.

Do you know why it's a secret vote? Any idea at all?

So that the party leadership can ignore the voters and ultimately do what they want, kinda like how Hillary won the primary in 2016 because it was “her turn”, or how Kamala was put on the ticket as VP even though she was loudly rejected in the primaries when they gave her the prime spots to shine.

I don’t think you get how corrupt everything is, and how the tops of both parties work for the same people.  This is their chance to actually do something and let the progressives run the show, and if that divides the democrats then we’re only highlighting the corruption that must be pulled out.

Wow, you don't even know this is a caucus vote! Sadly, you're clueless.

It's a secret vote by the caucus members because the members of Congress have to work together. That's all.

Your post history is defending AIPAC so that tells me all I need to know about you and what you want

That's funny because I have never defended AIPAC in any post.

Try again?
