Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

I'm glad she is running. I think both Dem candidates are equally matched. A competitive primary might bring out more voters in the general.
I don't know about Crockett. She's taken money from AIPAC.
There's a reason why the Republicans want her to be the Dem nominee.
She's been good on some subjects, but there's that nagging doubt.
If there were no better option then yes, vote for her. But there is a better option.
My biggest issue is that even what she's "good" at, she's not really. She's witty and mean to people I think deserve it, but her voting record is almost a perfect overlap with Hakeem Jeffries. "Charismatic Jeffries" doesn't mean shit to me.
I keep seeing this claim but can't find any source for it. I can find lots of links saying there is no evidence that she has. Like this

The last I looked, she doesn't take money from much of anybody, which is why she's one of the few who tell the truth.
She has all the policy positions one would have if they're 💯 in the bag for AIPAC.
She's like Chuck Schumer level pro Israel.
I see that https://www.trackaipac.com/ says she's pro-Israel, but even they don't indicate she's received any money. I'm just saying if there's no proof that she's taken AIPAC money then stop using that as a talking point against her. Use her voting record and statements, things that are verifiable.
My understanding was no direct aipac but indirect. And she went on an Israel visit a few years back. She has also made multiple pro Israel statements including a denial of genocide and says Israel will always be funded by the u.s.

She also defended that woman who was taking phone call text orders from Epstein during his hearing.
