Palestine has become a litmus test in Democratic primaries. If AIPAC can buy your soul on genocide, on the defining moral issue of our time, voters now take it as proof you can be bought on literally anything. Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, and Brad Lander proved running for Palestinian rights and social and economic justice is a winning platform. Let this be a lesson for others. This is the Mamdani earthquake. Will it transform the Democratic Party? Doubt it, it’s still funded by corporate donors obsessed with war, and they’ll stop at nothing to push back in very dirty ways. But it definitely throws a wrench into their machine and gives us some great people in Congress with actual power to make a few changes to our rotten system. What a wonderful thing to watch from Lebanon. These three in Congress definitely won’t be supporting an Israeli war here.
