Why do you not feel the same about your hard-earned money going to Israel? Over the past decades, Israel has received over 300 BILLION dollars in US taxpayer money. Why do you not have an issue with that?
The most vocal critics of Mamdani are Zionists, yet they always stay silent when this is raised. New York ranks #1 of all US cities in terms of highest amount of taxes being sent to Israel.
Exactly. It is despicable. People attacking him and AOC and Bernie - who were legitimately elected by Americans- while supporting a foreign countries involved in our govt
Nobody cares. Why aren't you whining about remittances sent abroad by immigrants, money which leaves the U.S. economy? Maybe you'd like to snivel about U.S. participation in NATO - foreign countries! "Zionists" as the bogeyman isn't playing well.

I was listening to Hakeem Jeffries the other day who was saying that rather than attacking Mamdani, Democrats need to pay attention to why he's popular. It's economic populism.
People are struggling. Some had a rough time during COVID, and some are having a rough time with Trump right now. Wages for most Americans have pretty much been stagnant while the rich keep getting richer. Housing costs keep rising, grocery costs keep rising, healthcare costs keep rising yet wages are stagnant and the middle class is getting beat down. All the other issues pale in comparison.
As Carville once best said it, "it's the economy, stupid."
Economic populism is the key to the Dems future
As it is for the Republicans. The D vision is "free everything for everyone, paid for by rich people". The R vision is "lower taxes, more $ in your pocket to spend as you like" instead of "we'll take your money through higher taxes and redistribute it to get more votes". So far, the R vision is prevailing.
Well, other than in actual results over the last 40 years of "trickle down" economics.
