6. Some people won't lead and they won't get out of the way

The “center” needs to shut the fuck up. There, fixed the problem.

If you’re taking AIPAC dollars then questions need to be asked.

AIPAC has provided significant financial support to members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
Total Contributions
Amount Given: At least $3.6 million
Timeframe: Since February 2022
Context of Contributions
AIPAC's funding has primarily targeted members of the CBC's "old guard," while progressive members, particularly those associated with the Squad, have faced challenges from AIPAC-backed candidates in upcoming primaries.
The financial support reflects AIPAC's strategy to influence Democratic primaries, particularly against those who advocate for restrictions on U.S. aid to Israel.
This financial backing illustrates AIPAC's ongoing efforts to maintain influence within the Democratic Party, especially among Black lawmakers.
