the only good ones are zohran, bernie, and aoc, and maybe some local ones. DNC only tolerates the latter 2, because they need reverse lightning rod.
AOC voted to fund the Zionazi entity. If that's your metric of "good" then you need to demand more.
Bernie is a liberal Zionist who grew up in Israel and refused to call it a genocide until the UN did. And I say that as someone who donated plenty to him in 2016.
Zohran seems pretty cool so far, though denouncing the Palestinian resistance was weak as hell.
I generally consider these people who reject AIPAC money good. Unfortunately, they are far outnumbered
