"Cori Bush warns pro-Israel lobby ‘to be afraid’ after primary loss"
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/07/cori-bush-pro-israel-lobby-warning
“While Aipac targeted both Bowman and Bush because of their support for Palestinian human rights, the group did not highlight or even mention this issue in their smear campaigns. While Aipac will claim their positions are ‘good policy and good politics’ it is clear that they are well-aware that they are losing the battle for public opinion”

@gratefuldread The sheer volume of attacks on Cori by AIPAC is on a new level. The duplicity behind it isn't. The number of people I spoke to when canvassing who had no idea the UDP is an AIPAC front highlights how democracy itself becomes meaningless in the presence of unlimited dark money from very deep pockets. We are in danger of losing meaningful democracy to the corruption engendered by Citizens United and its precursers.
