Israel wants to draw the U.S. into a war with Iran. This has been cooking for a long time.

Ok how is this anything but bribery.

Lobbying = legal bribery

We need to stop pretending the "moderate" Dems and progressives are on the same team.

Moderates almost all take that dirty AIPAC money to turn a blind eye to genocide, and AIPAC still donates to republicans as well

They're not the only ones, lots of "big money donors" play both sides.

And they'll do anything they can to keep politicians who can't be bought off from keeping office.

The only way to save our political system is kicking out all these "moderates" from the Democratic party so at least one option actually wants to help citizens more than they want donations.

Dems have always been a loose coalition compared to the lockstep republicans. Its also why the left is the majority in the country yet it can't keep a majority of power.

They're on the same team in the same way you're on the same team with a stranger when there are 6 ravenous wolves circling your dwindling torch light.

Is that stranger a fascist? Will they stab you in the back? Who knows: but it's better to have a back to press yours to than it is to have 3 unwatched wolves behind you.

Coalition forming is our only option as progressives.
