The most expensive race for a house seat in US History.
AIPAC, the Government of Israel, White liberal democrats, including Hillary Clinton and others- all worked together to unseat Jamaal Bowman in the primary.
Democrats and MSNBC go up in arms when jerrymandering of seats in the south weakens minority strongholds giving white republicans victory in many seats in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia & Flordia.
Jamaals' seat was reconfigured- a part of his Bronc base which includes a heavy base of Afro West Indian Americans and South Asian Guyanese Americans were cut from the constituency and in place, a whiter part of Westchester county was added.
That along with foreign Zionist election meddling and White Liberal Democrats worked in smooth unity to remove a progressive.
And we will ask why is Biden falling in the polls.

AIPAC MAGA, RIGHT WING CONSPIRE TO DEFEAT BOWMAN
In reply to Emir
Yes, Bowman have too many forces against him, but he could hold his head up high, he lost to a corrupt system

the same coalition is working to elect Trump and a lot of people seem unaware!

Bowman is his own worst enemy. He is to a certain extent like a bull in china shop, he often makes mistakes or causes damage in situations that require careful thinking and behavior….sad to say, but a successful politician has to be first and foremost a tactician/diplomat …I am not saying to compromise your principles, but somethings are better left unsaid when running for office. You have to understand your surroundings---AOC is part of his camp, but she has a different constituency, and won her primary.
As principal of Cornerstone Academy for Social Action, Bowman curated a "wall of honor" featuring likenesses of prominent Black, Latino, and Asian individuals. Its honorees included Martin Luther King Jr., Sonia Sotomayor, Cynthia McKinney, Mutulu Shakur, and Assata Shakur.[19][20][21] HuffPost political reporter Daniel Marans criticized Bowman for including "a notorious antisemite and two Black militants convicted of murder and armed robbery"; Bowman's campaign spokesperson responded that it is "a rhetorical tool of the far right to insinuate educating students on major figures of Black American history is serving to promote hateful or divisive rhetoric or actions."[19]
Bowman became a leading advocate against standardized testing.[22][23] His blog on the role of standardized testing received national attention.[22] He wrote that high-stakes testing had a role in perpetuating inequalities,[24] including turnover, tumult, and a vicious cycle it creates in students' and educators' lives, saying performance assessments damage a school's ability to teach.
Bowman also advocated for children to receive arts, history, and science education in addition to the basics of literacy and numeracy.[22] Bowman's school policy used a restorative justice model to address the school-to-prison pipeline.[25] After 10 years as principal, he left the job to focus on his congressional campaign.

If my school had those results, I would be against standardised testing, too. Test results in arts, history and science education were unavailable.
Bowman was lucky to serve 2 terms as the congressman for that district. To say that his politics did not match the politics of his constituents would be an understatement. The Hamas-Israeli war brought things to a head. I was surprised by the number of Jews in Bowman's district.

It is a shame, liberal democrats working with AIPAC and MAGA to unseat progressives
Yes, they did
He should now go up as an Independent.
In reply to Emir
That district had a lot of jews before and after redistricting. The main difference between 2022 and now is that a mostly Caribbean community in the north Bronx was switched for an older mostly black community in the north Bronx called coop city.
In reply to Emir
Running as an independent may get the Republican elected, which would not bode well for Bowman's future in the party. Recently I saw parts of a profanity laden campaign speech given by Bowman that was not a good look. I knew then that he knew he was losing his congressional seat.
[b]In reply to birdseye[
Not aware that AOC had a primary. Last election she was in my congressional district.In 2020 Bowman was in my district then newly configured to exclude some areas of the North Bronx. In 2022 they returned this area to the Queens /North Bronx district. Bowman also fell victim to the new redistricting that included more of north Westchester County.
Latimer will not be get any of the votes in my household.No voting down the line.
AIPAC is on the verge of taking out Cory Bush too! Imagine her dem primary AIPAC backed opponent
once managed a Repub candidates campaign. That Repub is anti-abortion and all the rest.
Standardized testing does have many drawbacks. Since JA has upgraded Junior Sec to High many of those kids
are now competing with and even outdoing many from traditional high schools. We have much to learn about educating different children.
90% of JA's best early days musicians were boys taken from the streets, many considered hopeless or recommended to reform schools.
I came across a book in a public library in Berkeley authored by Mortimer Pllanno. The masters candidate who wrote the forward said Mortimer
authored it in one day. Mortimer was sent to reform school in Stony Hill because he was considered a 'bad bway'

Are you suggesting that the below-average results in English and maths proficiency of the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action may have been the intended goal?
In reply to Walco
No, not true, this is exactly the statement made by the analyst at MSNBC- the attack ads by MAGA, AIPAIC AND White Liberals was just too much.
In reply to KTom
Perhaps I'm not able to make a clear point. Generalizations based solely on standardized testing are not facts. You could test someone this morning then at noon and get different results and not because the morning test gave them more insight. Standardized test on its own is not an absolute measure of knowledge and ability

And the sad thing is White Liberals- mainstream democrats are working with AIPAC, ignoring foreign government hacking by Israel and working with MAGA operatives to unseat minority progressives.
MSNBC, except Joy and a couple others, are lying and hiding this fact.
We cannot sat Russia is meddling and not equally calling out Israel and we hid that these White Liberals and mainstream democrats are working together to remove progressives who call out genocide.
Now, people, don't ask why the base is staying home.
In reply to Emir
You so full of shit—as usual. You and others perpetuating this bullshit that somehow AIPAC bought the election. Bowman was polling about 17 points down BEFORE AIPAC spent one cent on the election.
In 2022, he won his primary—as an incumbent—with only about 52% of the vote. Since then, he did nothing except run his mouth.
The problem is that some of these folks believe that the loud, brash, white, rich trust fund leftists are the majority. They are not. So while they make the most noise, ordinary people go about their business…and vote.
Bowman voted against one of Biden’s most popular bills—the infrastructure bill. Guess how that played in a democratic primary in a liberal district.
In reply to JOJO
Jackass, go educate yourself then come back in my post.
In reply to Emir
I just gave you some facts, not some bullshit to support your twisted Islam-centric view of the world.
Working with MAGA operatives? Keep making shit up, as you always do.
In reply to JOJO
Infrastructure bill did not hurt him half as much as support for Palestine! APIAC spent $15 million because of his support for Palestine, and they have decided to support Trump because he will have no restrictions on Israel.
In reply to camos
Once again—Fact 1: the guy was down about 17 points before AIPAC spent one cent on the race.
Fact 2: As an incumbent in 2022, he was only about to get about 52 percent of the vote.
He was a bad candidate who did not fit in the district…a district with a large Jewish population. Of course his support for Hamas hurt him. He denied (recorded) that Hamas raped women on October 7, despite the evidence.
So you think it would have been wise for a candidate running in little Havana to express support for Castro? And you think a candidate running in Dearborn Michigan would express support for Israel?
In reply to JOJO
You are even a bigger ass than I had given you credit for.
How can you be so dumb and dotish all at the same time.
In reply to camos
This is what Jackass JOJO wrote:
These words are exactly what was in one of AIPAC ad.
Bowman does not know the art of politics, let alone the science, period!
Trump winning this election, yuh reading it here first!
In reply to JOJO
how is 52% of the vote in a NY congressional district that consist of city and conservative suburbs not a good win?
Surely Bowman was always iffy but don't discount that victory. Did the NY Times have to let go one of their journalists over
dem 'said same' rape claims?
JoJo knows his stuff
In reply to imusic
Yeah, like how he got trapped with AIPAC words- conflating Palestinians with Hamas. Supporting a ceasefire as support for Hamas and falling lock stock and barrel for the attack ads from AIPAC, MAGA and Israel.
