Are you saying American politics is brought to you in part by corporations? Are you saying the world has a bunch of legal prostitutes called politicians that sell the country instead of their bodies?

In part?!

Every federal legislator does this, just like every federal legislator loans their campaigns money at 20% interest to pocket your campaign contributions legally. Remember how we learned during COVID that legislators of both parties exploited their classified briefings to make stock trades weeks ahead of the crash and quarantine?

Stop voting for conservatives and centrists, or just accept that you're pretty okay with this shit.

We all know they make decisions for everyone's lives and hedge on it. Its fucking bullshit but the people dont rise up so.

Get bribed by AIPAC for millions of dollars

Use the AIPAC money to invest in the weapons companies which send weapons to Israel

Vote to give Israel billions in taxpayer dollars for weapons from said companies
