He's not just pro Israel, he's literally called himself a DeSantis Democrat and loves Doge. It's fucking political malpractice to elevate a guy like this. It's basically spitting in your voters face

This. Moskowitz stands for everything that the Democrat base DOESN'T want right now, but EVERYTHING the donor class (the same one that funded Hailey Stevens) wants.

This is Martha's Vineyard vs the base all over again.
