    I think previously you were.. something something non-sequiters?

    Whats your answer for when AIPAC helicopters in 10 31mil^1^ in PAC money to the house race you are managing? When they start setting up shell PAC's like Elect Chicago Women, and use it to run ads for the zionist candidates? What do you do when AIPAC shells are paying TikTokers 1500 a post to say something negative about a candidate, per post?

    There are not answers to those question in the documentary, because when it was being made, those candidates didn't face the same battles current candidates do. And current candidates face these challenges, in part, because of the success of candidates like AOC, Talib, Omar. The environment is fundamentally different.

    1: 10 mil was the early estimate. AIPAC spent 31 mil to stop the progressive.

    Editing in some more detail.. because this is fun and its fun to run dunks, but its also good to prep for more competent opponents than you.

    In 2018, AOC raised 600k from small dollar donors to fund her campaign. She left the campaign with 370k banked. In Kat Abughazaleh's recent race (which she lost), she raised nearly 3.5 million from the same class and size of donation as AOC.
