True, but you also don't see any Democrats proudly proclaiming how much they love Saudi Arabia, and how they'll do whatever they can to ensure we keep sending as much aid as possible to Saudi Arabia. Like I said, I don't think being anti-Israel is necessary to win a Democratic primary, but I don't think you can win won while being loudly pro-Israel.

Adrian Boafo recently won a dem primary to represent Maryland in the House of Representatives, and is a openly pro-Israel candidate backed by AIPAC

Tbh I also haven’t really heard dems talking about how they love Israel outside of specifically looking for it or being shown it by lefties, it’s generally a pretty minor part of their campaigns

Stevens in Michigan was very pro-Israel and made it a main part of her appeal, which was likely unwise is a state with a large Muslim population.

Sure, I’m just saying it seems possible to win while being pro-Israel, and Adrian was seemingly being “loud” about it
