Appreciate that this was tagged as "conspiracy theories" because it partially is, but it's also making worthwhile points. Advisors to the democratic party leadership have their own motives, and it's all to do with dollar signs. Campaign finance was broken by moneyed interests, we let them create a world where half of all campaign spending comes from something like 0.1% of the electorate.

Exactly! The American Israel Public Affairs Committee donated 51.8 million dollars to the Democrats in 2024. How much of that was spent on advisors that they vetted?

They didn't even have to tell her to support Israel's "right to defend itself", though they certainly did. Far more insidious, they could have told her all sorts of bad advice calculated to make her lose. Like that the "weird" thing was alienating voters and should be toned down. Then she loses while thinking she's getting good advice, and they get Trump to declare war on Iran instead!
