Just remember Latimer is in office because Zionists decided the progressive — Jamaal Bowman — had to go

Like holy shit, this is insane.

Ugh. I wanted to vote for Bowman, but he was being openly antisemitic towards the end. Like, not just anti-Israel, but literally targeting the Jews who lived in his district. I couldn't bring myself to do it.

Bowman delivered a self-inflicted wound - a dumb self-inflicted wound.

Yes, when the Constitution is being shredded, when our democracy is being dismantled, the UTMOST PRIORITY is to be POLITE IN OUR RESPONSE

It was also a byproduct of redistricting. NYCD-16 lost almost the entirety of the north Bronx and was extended north to include White Plains.

...and Lattimer was the Westchsster County executive, and Bowman was only known for [checks notes] improperly pulling a fire alarm in Congress.

Your notes are very lacking.

Nah, I was a constituent of his, I paid attention. I stand by my statement.

Misrepresenting people certainly is your choice.

The fire alarm thing was a good thing to do.

The same people who kneecapped Bowman, turned their backs on Mondaire Jones in favor of Mike Lawler, and put George Latimer in office have already picked their #NY17 candidate for 2026: @bethdavidson.bsky.social

They did the same thing to Cori Bush. Her replacement is a transparently corrupt former prosecutor whom AIPAC and the DMFI backed heavily b/c she was outspoken about the genocide in Gaza.

Yup!!

All centrists are just right wingers picking just enough leftist stances to get elected. Gaza continues to be the litmus test for decency.

Bought with 15 million bucks from AIPAC!

Yes the dastardly "zionists"

And not the fact that Bowman was out of touch with his own district

Shame on you for pushing this BS

If you so much as disagree with this crowd, you're automatically a trump lover and reactionary. it couldn't possibly be them who lost their damn minds

Thanks because I truly despise Trump and everything he stands for.

Ahahahaha yes I love trump soooo much

Fucking clown

Well, the important part is that you got to wag your finger at a random bluesky user instead of focusing your attention on the clearly useless George Latimer.

spookychum.bsky.social•4 hours ago

The district Latimer is in will decide if they want to keep him

But yes God forbid, after almost 2 years of the most abhorrent widespread antisemitism in my life, we chill with the "zionists are everywhere" rhetoric. The district has a sizable Jewish population, we know you mean Jews

sleepcore.zone•4 hours ago

Well I guess if you want to just stick your fingers in your ears and ignore how Hasbara and AIPAC affects US policy, I guess that's your right but it doesn't make you any less of a mark.

spookychum.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Oh shut the ever loving fuck up. We get it, everything you don't like is hasbara. Jews exercising collective voting power as a bloc is AIPAC.

He was already unpopular and routinely antagonized a large voting bloc in his district. Even non-Jewish voters were tired of him.

sleepcore.zone•4 hours ago

You know there's actual documented evidence of it, right? Again, you're just sticking your fingers in your ears and pretending you don't see the truth. That's fine though. Zionism is a reactionary and conservative position and based on your tone, you're quite comfortable with that fact.

chanda.bsky.social•5 hours ago

You mean shame on the Zionist orgs that spent record sums of money on the race and then openly celebrated the victory?

Sorry facts have got you butt hurt

spookychum.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Ah yes because it was just "Zionist orgs"

Totally had nothing to do with people in the district already tired of Bowman's schtick. Oh and the fact that Bowman also treated the Jewish community with contempt and as a photo prop, yep nothing to see there either

spookychum.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I guess being tired of people lying is"butt hurt" though

“The result in New York’s 16th Congressional District is also a victory for pro-Israel groups, which backed Latimer with historic levels of spending during the campaign.”

chanda.bsky.social•5 hours ago

‘Latimer, in arguing Bowman’s political style was unbecoming and mismatched to the district’s electorate, said the incumbent’s “constituency is Dearborn, Michigan,” the majority Arab American midwestern city, and in an interview last week, argued that Bowman enjoyed “an obvious ethnic benefit.”‘

the majority of American Zionists are Christian and until recently the most powerful Zionist in the country was a Catholic named Joe Biden. It’s now an Evangelical-backed Donald Trump.

So anyone who thinks “Zionists” is a placeholder for Jews needs to unpack their antisemitism & Zionist propaganda

They will not, they found it's a convenient tool to use against the progressive wing of the party.

chanda.bsky.social•5 hours ago

This is such a wild thing to be stuck on in March of 2025 when Elon Musk is literally in the middle of shutting the government down and Latimer is mad at the guy calling it out

Sorry but fuck your stupid priorities lol

stevemking.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I'll tell you why. It was akin to J6. Amateur, high school move. He intentionally obstructed Congress. Clown shoes. I'd say respect the job and show some decorum but that ship has sailed

inflatabledream.bsky.social•4 hours ago

“It was akin to J6”, absolute clown take. Also it’s actually a good thing he obstructed Congress, Dems should do it more often until Congress starts passing something that actually helps the working class in a significant way.

"it was akin to J6"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

jesus christ you're a fucking loser

specialguest.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Wait, are you actually comparing pulling a fire alarm, to an all-out mob assault on the Capitol with intent to assassinate the Vice President?

chanda.bsky.social•5 hours ago

I said what I said about your priorities Steve

stevemking.bsky.social•4 hours ago

"Zionists" ... 😮‍💨 We all know what you mean. We're used to it. We've been getting it from all sides for thousands of years.

Also, welcome to fucking New York. This is the time when you hit block bc you unfollowed immediately after being challenged. Ivory tower nonsense

chanda.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Steve, sweetie, I was never following you. You were following me. A Black Jew, who thinks you are full of shit.
