You're being a bitter crumudgen because there are now more Democrats that fought and won against AIPAC money and big money politics with good policy platforms. They ran on a platform of Medicare for all, ending wars, and more progressive policies. We need to see how it shakes out, and calling them ShitLibs is just naked cynicism. When it inevitably comes down to corporate Democrats blocking these efforts, you can go ahead and call them out, but the only way forward is to primary them with better people. Pretending like the new batch is the old batch is disingenuous.

    Pretending that DSA Blue is in any way meaningfully different than Third Way Blue is an exercise in idealism and a refusal to learn anything at all from history. Your Fell For It Again Award will be along in 6-12 months when the fig leaf falls off and the naked neoliberalism is back on display.

    You're being obtuse then because there's already been a house and senate votes with over 100 Democrats that voted no to Israeli money. Here are 40 Democrat senators that voted to stop the money faucet: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1192/vote_119_2_00080.htm. So literally take your cynicism and disappear until you can converse like an adult.

    If you know you are going to lose the vote, you are free to vote anyway it looks good to your constituents without ever really tipping your hand to who is actually pulling your strings.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Do you explain everything in your life that way? Some things are just exactly as they seem, and there doesn't need to be some PR conspiracy. Hopefully we find out what they really think when we have the votes; no excuses.
