This is exactly what I have been saying. Israel won the election again.

    Not really. The system is build to last and changing it takes a lot of time. The results are terrible for Israel and mark a significant shift in how general public perceives them. They are fine for the next electoral cycle or two but they are worried.

    So long as most candidates are owned by them, public perception is irrelevant

    And I'm not talking about public perception. It's impossible for DSA and progressive candidates to win in all races during one election. They don't have enough resources and they don't have the right candidates in every place to do it. Different systems allow other parties to emerge and win against the establishment but in US winning Democratic primaries is the only way to go. It will take a lot of time for progressives to actually become the majority of elected Democrats but this doesn't mean the perception of Israel didn't change. It did and US is on the path to stop supporting them. Because it's such a slow process many things can happen along the way but the they did take the first steps.
