    Good. If that was her best argument, then she deserved to lose. Race and religion need to be left out of Democratic politics.

      Absolutely. Especially in this case. If their opponent had problematic support of Israeli genocide. Then they should push that. Not that they were Jewish or not. Plenty of Jews do not support Israel or the ethnic cleansing they are performing in Palestine.

      I’m sure if anyone looked into this much. It would probably turn out that they were a spoiler candidate funded by the other party. Which is not to say the Democrats can’t be this tone deaf and stupid. They absolutely can. But this sort of shit sets off red flags.

        We need to ensure there is a distinction in the media between being anti-zionist and anti-semetic. Because the Zionists in charge of Israel and lobbying groups here in the US are trying very hard to conflate the two as much as possible.
