I supported AOC a few hours before she announced. I always think a person that lives in a district is more likely to work for the people they represent, rather than someone who lives elsewhere. Now, I understand that others can think differently, and thus approve of Lauren Boebert, for example.
It seems accurate to say that AIPAC isn't opposed to the Democratic Party, though definitely they are opposed to some Democrats. So we should all be able to agree that AIPAC has no loyalty to either party, but rather acts in ways that advocates their values and self-interests. I think that they have that right, just as Bernie has the right to advocate for his position. I think everyone should put their cards on the table. I do note that our friend you were debating recently suggested that I didn't need to donate to AOC, but should invest in other campaigns. That's fine. I'll donate to AOC and Ilhan Omar and others that share my values on most issues.
