More recently, the AIPAC strategy on Israel is to splinter where it sends money and attack candidates on grounds fully independent of Israel.
Maine was a great example of this in action (for better or worse). Platner was taken down (belatedly) based on his history of infidelity and misogynist violence. Francesca Hong lost to David Crowley largely because of the endless harping on her excessively-Woke views on Thanksgiving. El-Sayed is facing a deluge of TERFism going into the general, paid for by a constellation of Zionist-backed media. Mamdani getting an endless hate-parade from the NYPost on anything tangentially related to cops.
I suspect the AIPAC playbook is going to look very similar to the New Labour playbook in the UK. You’ll get smeared from every angle except support for Palestine.
Candidates lose when nobody endorses them. In Hong’s case she could’ve pulled through with a Bernie or AOC endorsement.
The other 2 should’ve never entered. Campaigns are popularity contests and if you know you’re unlikely to win voters or have skeletons in your closet you should stay home or work for somebody else’s campaign.
