Well, yeah. Saying anything contrary to Israel's declared narrative, would cost them all that AIPAC money...and AIPAC would most likely fund a primary challenger to run against them.

Just look at what happened to Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush.

Which is exactly why they should all be coming out against it. Take genocide money out of politics. Just like trump, with all republicans, the pressure to follow the singular narrative disappears when they all work together. It’s the point of having a party. Work together for the party good, not whomever lords over the party.
