    chevron-right

    I wonder if there is any national trend here? Supporters of Israel winning in primary elections?

    It's beautiful to see party extremes kept on the fringes where they belong.

    I quite agree. I would not be displeased to see the whole Squad as well as the whole Troupe (Gaetz, Boebert, MTG) suffer the same fate.

    Hallelujah. Once we get rid of the fringe whackos, we will start to get better.

    Totally agree, get rid of the extremes on both sides of the aisle and govern from the middle.

    This the kind of foreign election interference centrists & liberals like. Apparently a racist apartheid state knocking off black politicians is a thing to high five about!

    We can all get back to the hard work of arming a genocide and perhaps a regional war

    The hard work is defending against people that wish to erase the existence of the Jewish people off the map. The rest of your tripe is just consistent with the Tik-Tok-informed inanity of people such as soon-to-be former Congresswoman Bush.

    We all are entitled to our thoughts and views, but I take comfort knowing that the majority of people reject the abhorrent proclivities of soon-to-be former Congresswoman Bush.

    Israel is more of a danger to themselves in that regard than one congress person in America. If AIPAC needs these symbolic victories with outlays in the millions of dollars, I dont know if thats a sign of strength. Anyways, good luck with people under 40 in the years ahead.

    Yeah I'm just not impressed with the theatrics in general. She's mainly firing shots at the people and businesses she feels took her out.

    Unfortunately there are more of these idiots on the fringes of both parties that still need to go.
