Have all of them had their primaries yet? How many of them are in perhaps embattled districts? And stop focusing on AIPAC, and look at others like Bloomberg, etc. who will also fund anyone all in with Israel over anything else. Also, some of them specifically voted to block this to differentiate themselves from the Democratic socialists in the party. Republicans across the country are already recreating the red scare tactic against every Democrat. Suozzi and Giles in NY, for example, have already called for a moderator centrist Democratic Party wing. Long Island and Westchester are definitely not New York City. I want to know also if any Republicans voted against it. That will be especially telling. If they voted for it, I bet they are in a swing district or Jewish themselves. If you are surprised by Gottheimer or Moskowitz you really don't get it. The thing to remember as well is that if someone is retiring, they may not want to piss off a potential employer or the source of very lucrative contracting agreements. They are many, many ways to buy votes nowadays. We have the most corrupt SCOTUS ever, the most corrupt POTUS in the history of the country, and a house and Senate and other elected officials that might be swayable.
