We the People doesn't have the same meaning as it did in the past. An elected Representative should negotiate on behalf of their Constituents, PERIOD! Instead, they cater to the biggest contributors to their campaign. It's no wonder Oligarchs buy Lobbyist and Politicans. I remember Elon Musk offering large sums of money to buy votes for Trump, illegally, I might add. But, this future Trillionaire is still walking around a free man. Apparently, laws only apply to those who CAN'T afford to buy their own justice, unlike Oligarchs where their wealth buys corruption without threats of arrest and/or trials, verdicts, incarceration.

This AIPAC stuff is stupid. Now a days politicians run for office mostly because of the money Once they have the money and get elected they forget about the people that elected them and chase after more money. The underlying problem is not money. It’s human greed. A Trumplican friend of mine told me that he voted for Trump because he was rich and couldn’t be swayed by money. Obviously he was wrong. Greed is at the root of this. Get ready for the May Day protests!

I agree with you its greed. If Citizens United was ended it would help mitigate the money and greed issues.

The Supreme Court (Trump's not so secret army) did this to us - Citizens United changed the laws restricting election financing and threw election financing wide open to corporations and interest groups. Given enough money almost every politician can be bought.

I have seen what AIPAC has done to our elected. I don’t like what I see. I wonder how did we got here. Greed, power and conflict. It’s like this group is trying to create chaos in the USA. Now when I see a candidate gets AIPAC money and it’s a primary, I vote against them. Even if the candidate isn’t as good as the person getting funded by AIPAC. I am Christian so I love everybody! So this it is no shade to a person of Jewish descent. As a Catholic I have been taught to love everyone. Truly! I was taught that we are all made in the image of God.

I don’t want a power to be concentrated on any other country but USA. 🙏🏼

This was ot a hit peice on Israel. It's pointing out that money in our political system has damaged our democracy.

I don’t see it as a hit piece on Israel; I don’t want any Country to give our politicians money. I would love to see all monies from PAC out of politics.
