Last June, local prosecutor Wesley Bell called Rep. Cori Bush to assure her that under no circumstances would he be running against her, according to audio of a phone call between Bell and Bush obtained by Drop Site News.
A few months later, he launched his primary challenge against Bush for the Missouri House seat after being recruited by AIPAC.
Yup, Democrats started to institute firearm regulation as a pillar of the party platform and as a result began accepting progressively less and less NRA donations. The 90s was when it began and the trend continued into the 2000s until today when Democrats overwhelmingly and explicitly pledge not to take NRA money.
It was a decision by the party that public safety was of greater importance than taking NRA money.
No. Parties can create their own internal rules, including rules that result in membership being revoked or other consequences (losing endorsements, committee positions etc.). Which would stop them running in democratic primaries. What they cannot do is legally stop people generally from taking campaign donations.
It’s rich that you’re bemoaning the lack of civic literacy when you yourself don’t even understand that parties create their own internal codes of conduct and ethical guidelines (or are intentionally misleading people), which they 100% can use to maintain party ethics.
You quite literally did.
Your kneejerk response to someone making a simple observation that Democrats allow the meddling of zionist PACs in our democracy (by allowing members of the party to accept AIPAC money) was to deflect responsibility away from those willfully accepting the money to the decision that allowed them to accept the money.
You’re being deeply dishonest about your intentions here, attempting to obfuscate it with condescension and trying to project an unearned sense of authority.
Its not that people opposed to zionism are civically illiterate, it’s that you’ve mistaken your latent right-wing views and intellectual dishonesty with civic literacy.
