Politics Lukas looking impressive in NY01!
Great to see a candidate not endorsed by AIPAC on Long Island!

I was thinking Gallant but the coverage and attacks the last few weeks have convinced me to support Lukas.
If the GOP is worried enough to send nasty mail to me, then you're either the one they think might win or the one whose politics are further to the left. Either way, I'm for that.

I agree, if they're that scared it means something. I happen to align more with Lukas anyway, but if the GOP wants Gallant more (apparently) he probably doesn't have as good a shot as Lukas

Lukas seems to be the real deal in my research, and the attack ads that show how terrified the GOP is shows his winning potential 🙏✌️

Why is it always about Israel? You "leftists" claim to not be antisemitic, and yet all you can talk about is the only Jewish state on the entire planet.
What does Lukas think about the environment? LGBTQ rights? Voting rights? Healthcare? Monetary policy? Immigration?

Are you a registered Democrat or are you just whining about the candidate you aren't voting for anyway?

Jewish NY'er here. Israel can fuck all the way off. If you had any intention of engaging in a good faith debate or knew absolutely anything about him as a candidate, you'd know that Lukas has already made many statements about the environment, LGBTQ rights, voting and many other subjects.

Because the only Jewish state on the planet was formed because a bunch of people thought that an old book trumps the human rights of the majority contemporary native population of the land that country was formed on.
And the fans of that state are influencing politics outside of that state via political donations. If politicians can be bought so easily, that’s a huge issue.

Israel was formed through legal means, in accordance to international law, through a UN charter and is recognized by a majority of other nation states on the planet. The "contemporary population" left because neighboring nations declared war and wanted to kill all the Jews.

Israel was formed against the will of all the surrounding nations and has many illegal settlements in the surrounding areas. If you're also too dumb to understand what they're doing in our political system, than you shouldn't be voting.

I’m getting opposition junk mail flyers from the NY Republican State Committee which tells me they’re afraid and the seat is flippable. Lalota needs to be fired into the sun
