what even is redistricting
Yeah that’d be terrible. Well at least how cheap it is to buy some of them
I hate assholes like Chait that “forget” to provide context. AIPAC spent $15m on a congressional district. And - of course - the org has used and did use its power and influence to drum up an unknown amount of “free media” to smear Bowman.
How many voters does that district even have??? My wild guess is 100,000. That means AIPAC’s official spending was at least $150 per voter plus their unofficial sliming.
Bowman’s district was also just redistricted bringing in a ton of new wealthier, more likely to vote constituents which, just my assumption, was the actual thing that caused him to lose. AIPAC’s money obviously didn’t help. And it’s basically no secret that they went balls to the wall on this guy who was already in a precarious primary (due to redistricting which was probably done specifically to NOT have a more left voice there ever again- Bowman or not) to flex their financial backing, get a nearly-guaranteed “win”, and make everyone else think twice about even slightly standing against Israel support
Damn that would be crazy!
they found something denser than lead
