      Nope, and there won’t be as long as AIPAC has a $100 million to throw at the election.

        Such corruption is anathema to democracy.

          Yup, and everyone told the Supreme Court this would be the end result of Citizens United.

            AIPAC predates Citizens United. The military-industrial complex determining American foreign policy is as old as America.

              AIPAC pre-dates Citizens United, but CU allows them to influence elections to a much greater degree than they could previously.

              Lol, idk why so many people think that our foreign policy is a result of defense contractor kickbacks.

              I’m just imagining Washington or Lincoln being taken out to a swanky dinner being wined and dined with a musket industry lobbyist, being persuaded into war for defense kickbacks.

              Like, no, America didn’t genocide the natives because they benefited from taking their territory, they did it because horse breeders and gunpowder manufacturers offered Jackson a lucrative cut from defense contracts lol
