    I’m not sure what you are trying to say here, but it sounds like your argument is that the DnC has no practical method of decreasing the power of PACs, so they shouldn’t try?

    I don’t know here nor there on that, but the news cycle right now was more about AIPAC versus other PACs etc. So it was specifically about making a statement about Israel and AIPAC but then homie tried to make it about all PACs but that’s practically impossible. ok fine.

    Then don’t make it about PACs and make it about Israel. Israel is a pariah and has been since 2023 and before. You lose elections if they’re on your side and even the rightwing commentariate understands this (see last week’s news breaking down Carlson, Jones, Owens etc… breaking with Trump over Israel). They get it. Everyone hates Israel so if you are trying to win an election, don’t be aligned with Israel.

    The point of the motion within the DNC was less about PACs and more about creating distance with Israel.
