- There's a world of policy positions between "give as many weapons as desired without condition" and "abandon Israel". AIPAC hasn't gone after Democrats that just express reservations and demand accountability and their effectiveness requires they actually have an argument that with a lot of ad money can sway meaningful numbers of voters.
- AIPAC's resources are not endless. They can drop big money in small races to influence them, but don't have the resources to veto a president. Those weren't crucial votes on Israel policy, they were members they thought were vulnerable. They couldn't oust Ilhan Omar and they're not even planning a challenge to Bernie Sanders despite his greater prominence and power. Learned helplessness however could give them everything they want without needing to have the actual power to force it.
- Finally, if you're trying to discourage antiwar opposition, saying she is effectively required to act in accordance with AIPAC's wishes is not going to sway anyone who's angry about Israel's genocide. If that were actually true then AIPAC supports genocide so, whether under duress or not, Democratic presidents will also be required to support genocide.
They're fine, but they were explicitly founded as Never Trump conservatives, which is not the outfit you want to go to when trying to discredit challenges that are nominally based on the Democrats being too conservative.
A license that requires source. And since then there have been many different licenses, all with the same requirement. Giving someone a binary for free and saying they're allowed to edit the hex codes and redistribute it doesn't mean it's open source. A license to use and modify is necessary but not sufficient for something to be open source. You need to provide the source.
Israeli vs. Palestinian support isn't nearly so overwhelming that there is simply one side that guarantees loss. This is an excuse by you for them, not a truth of politics.
Not just Trump will be worse as some sort of abstract moral statement. Their statement is that Uncommitted voters should actively vote against Donald Trump no matter how inadequate Harris's statements and commitments have been.
"Open source" is not a license, it's a description. Things can be free with no license restrictions and still not be "open source".
Russia is bad and all, but she's much more directly a useful idiot for Republicans who are not only more directly focused on directly harming the people Stein's campaign is targeting, but have a significantly greater ability to actually accomplish it. No one needs to trust the US establishment that Russia is bad, they know Republicans and how they're bad.
Also, DNC, why are you making this news on The Bulwark? Way to undercut your message.
This should be disqualifying even if you don't care about all the racism and sexism. Anyone who thinks commenting on a porn forum is a normal and good thing to do, especially talking about your personal life, is far too weird to be given power.
As we know from the Terminator series, AI and time travel go hand in hand.
They're angling for Congress to install Trump if no one reaches 270. The fallback method of selecting a president when there's no clear winner is a House vote where each state gets 1 vote, so since there are more red states than blue states that's effectively a sure-thing win for Republicans rather than leaving it to chance with the voters. Even if they're 75% sure Trump wins Georgia, 100% is still better.
A freely available and unencumbered binary (e.g., the model weights) isn't the same thing as open-source. The source is the data. You can't rebuild the model without the data, nor can you verify that it wasn't intentionally biased or crippled.
They don't produce the weapons they buy from us. Eventually they could stand up domestic production, but it would absolutely impact the current war. Israelis themselves have said that. You're just making up excuses the actual people involved don't make.
