"Indypendent"[sic] is a far left rag.
If anything, it is too critical of Israel.
And Firemarshal Jamaal did not receive support from fauxgressive groups?
Didn't the Ilk defend Willie Brown when he gave his mistress, one Kamala Harris, positions on state boards?
There is a British journalist named Robert Cox who is 90. I doubt they mean him.
Given JB's hostility toward Israel, how is that wrong?
Very timely. He lost three weeks ago.
No. Getting rid of Jamaal Bowman was a good thing. Next up, Cori Bush.Disaster in NY-16
for anything related to JB, but 
for anything related to GL?This shows a lack of focus. What does "end to [so-called] genocide" have to do with the "mf Green New Deal"?
I am sure a "Sunrise Movement campaigner" contacted were hardly a representative sample of the NY16 electorate.
With proportional representation, lists are made by the parties. There is no chance at an insurgency like when JB ousted Elliott Engel. Or when AOC ousted Crowley for that matter. I am not sure how ranked choice would have helped the fire marshal because it was a two-horse race.
I hope not. Or we will probably get President JD Vance.
A far left rag rated high for factual reporting.
By whom?
Politics under PR is very different from what Americans are accustomed to. It's about parties rather than individuals, though some politicians still become celebrities. So what would have happened instead is that AOC and JB would be members of some Progressive Party and EE and JC members of some Democratic Center Party. So EE and JC would lose their seats and AOC and JB gain their seats if the PP got an increased number of votes and the DCP a decreased number. If the DCP got an increased number again, then EE and JC might get their seats back.
That's because JB's opponents decided to consolidate around one candidate. They didn't do that in 2022, and with RCV, JB would likely have had a squeaker of a victory back then.
I am familiar with PR systems, most closely the German system even though that is technically a mixed member system. Half the MdBs are elected directly from districts, but there is an adjustment so that the overall composition closely matches the proportions of the Zweitstimmen (or "second votes" where the party lists are voted for) minus the parties that failed the 5% threshold that was implemented to avoid excessive fragmentation of the parliament that would make governing coalitions unstable.
Most likely. But is it questionable if the bartender and the middle school principal, respectively, would have been placed high enough on their party list to be elected given the percentage of votes it was likely to get. After all, these two only became well known after they took out incumbents in their low turnout, partisan primaries that would not exist under PR.
It would still not have helped him in 2024 nor in 2022 - a squeaker is not better than a clear victory.
This is more plausible, considering the margin that she won by back in 2022.
with a picture of the two together.
I am looking forward to her giving a eulogy for Cori Bush's political career as well.
Then noting that Bob Mendenez ($2,510,505), Hillary Clinton ($2,357,122), Joe Lieberman($1,998,774), Mitch McConnell ($1,953,910), Chuck Schumer ($1,725,324), John McCain ($1,493,816), and Ted Cruz ($1,401,335) have all received less money from AIPAC than a certain candidate for a certain House seat.
Then noting what seems to be this article: AIPAC is the biggest source of Republican donors giving to Democratic primaries - POLITICO
The same thing that they did with other candidates. They don't brag about how much their favorite candidate loves Israel, they bring in other issues, like saying that a candidate is incompetent or opposed to President Biden or progressive goals or whatever. They are even willing to deny their own values, like presenting Wesley Bell as a "progressive champion"
A nearly 3:1 ratio.
He will be an obedient lackey who meekly asks his AIPAC babysitter about how he should vote on this and that.
I agree.
He might to deny it with the Francis Bacon defense, however.
then
They did that with Nina Turner, Summer Lee, Donna Edwards, Andy Levin, Susheela Jayapal, ... and they only lost once: Summer Lee.Useful_Permit1162 • 6d ago
Try telling that to Andy Levin, a pro-Israel Democrat, leader of his synagogue, popular in his district, who AIPAC donated to, until he made a comment that he believed a two state solution was best. AIPAC found a primary opponent, flooded the district with money and got Levin out. They literally used the same tactics they are using here, flooding the airwaves and mail with ads that called him disloyal to Biden and criticizing his alleged "Republican tactics".

don't know that people quite understand just how effective these strategies are with low information voters, which are the vast majority of voters. Negative ads stay in people's minds easier than positive ones and right now people are seeing near constant negative ads on Bush. What happens is that you see an ad over and over again or get a flyer over and over again and you certainly believe that thing to be true, you can't remember where it came from, but you can feel it in your gut that it is. There is effectively no way to compete with that if you aren't similarly funded and AIPAC funded candidates have been outspending their challengers by 5-10x. Even candidates with goodwill in their district can't overcome that.
