Progressive Analilia Mejia has pulled off a long-shot win in a special election primary for New Jersey’s 11th congressional district, defeating favorite Tom Malinowski thanks to AIPAC’s intervention in the race.
Malinowski conceded Tuesday morning, saying in a post on X that Mejia “deserves unequivocal praise and credit for running a positive campaign and for inspiring so many voters on Election Day.”
“But the outcome of this race cannot be understood without also taking into account the massive flood of dark money that AIPAC spent on dishonest ads during the last three weeks,” Malinowski’s post said.
AIPAC will have learned from this moving forward.
Right after Susan Collins learns hers.
Vote Graham Platner if you live in Maine.
I do not. But if I did I’d vote for a dung beetle over Collins.
🙏
Does that mean the billionaires will stop shoveling money to GOP candidates?
Yes probably and start funneling more money into AI and drones.
Full support of the dnc too:
“Analilia Mejia ran a powerful grassroots campaign laser focused on ensuring our economy works for families, not billionaires. From skyrocketing utility and grocery costs to Trump holding the Gateway Tunnel project hostage, New Jersey families are paying the price for Trump and New Jersey Republicans’ toxic agenda. New Jersey deserves a fighter and not a spineless Trump lackey. From now until Election Day, the DNC is all-in to ensure Analilia Mejia clinches victory.”
DNC ain’t exactly showing an ability to determine outcomes any longer.
Good
Even with trump in office, democratic party registrations continue to plummet. It turns out people dont like Israeli agents who dont give a shite about them. Who could have possibly forseen this?

I’m not see that as registration. Did I miss that part,?
hey tropicaldingdong, no you are correct. I’ve been reading up on it lately and looks like I cited an article that didnt talk about it. Sorry about that. Heres some that talk about registration specifically https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5462604-voter-registration-shift-democrats/ https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2025/08/20/democrats-voter-registration
Thanks for that. I’ve been looking on any information I can find on registration.
This is shocking.
Sick.
Real quick though, FUCK ELIZABETH WARREN. Who gives a fuck what that slimeball endorses. We could have had Bernie and now we have the fourth Reich because of this piece of shit and Democrats like her.
Weird. I thought there was a huge vote before the Chee-to got in, where people could have chosen something so much better already but …didn’t. That must be Warren’s fault personally as well.
Multiple people can be at fault
Do you or they have the power of being one of the first states to endorse a candidate or the power to convince other senators to endorse a candidate instead of the most popular choice?
Change has to come from the primaries. This is where the battle needs to be fought, by the time it’s into an election it’s over, and you end up with Republican or Republican Light.
I’m somewhat confused by how this article is worded. If AIPAC’s negative ads against Malinowski worked and caused Meija to win instead, how exactly did that backfire?
From the article, looks like Meija’s views on Israel are even stronger than Malinowski’s. So it’s even further against AIPIC’s interests for Meija to have won, but I assume they hasn’t considered that at the time of putting the attack ads out. But I may be wrong, the article doesn’t make it quite as clear as it maybe could.
Yeah, I had to read it a few times to fully understand it. Whoever wrote the article did a piss-poor job and needs to go back to English class. My 1st grader can write better than that.

How silly. Why don’t they just use the Russian Election Interference Ray that consists of about 6000$ of gifs on Tik Tok?
…why does this article end like mid-thought? I’m not even totally clear on exactly what happened. They funded the progressive before she made her position known?
The non-progressive forerunner dared to say that we might want to reconsider sending unconditional arms to Israel. In response, AIPAC released a series of negative ads against him. This split the non-progressive votes, and cleared the way for the progressive to win.
Ah, thank you for not explaining that while literally walking out the d
I’m sorry, but I don’t understand this post (and that’s not my downvote).Edit: I like your joke and I’m happy I could help. To be fair, I already heard about this AIPAC blunder, so I didn’t need to rely on how this specific article was written.
(I was walking out the door, like the author while writing the article)
Edit: 🤦♂️ I get it now 🤣
You didn’t answer his first question. The primary question he asked
So he ended his response early like he states the article did.
Them:
why does this article end like mid-thought?
You:
You didn’t answer his first question. The primary question he asked
Surely you can’t be serious. Nobody is going to be able able to jump into the author’s brain like that, and it is obviously not a serious “primary” question.
That is right. When you don’t know you don’t say. You should have just not answered at all.
Please re-read the exchange. I clearly and concisly answered the primary question, which is about what happened in regard to AIPAC funding in the election.
one of the few modern bright spots is when filling out a ballot its much easier to look at a canidates voting record and sources of money.
Let’s go!
