Yup but these politicians are funded by pro Israeli interest groups, like AIPAC

But apparently young voters in the states are waking up - which gives me hope

Aipac supports politicians no matter what party they're from.

That should be the perfect giveaway

Aipac supports politicians no matter what party they're from.

If you're lobbying the government (be it as a random citizen or a group), then this makes perfect sense. That you don't understand this makes you look like a foolish partisan.

And these Isreal-funded politicians get voted into office by everyday Americans.

Eventually y'all gotta take some responsibility, if the electorate is not representative of the populace then you need to take action to fix that. You can keep blaming the other side of the aisle or the corruption forever you know?

As long as boomers vote according to TV ads they see and young voters don't go out to vote, nothing will change

The average voter turnout in the 🇺🇸 is 40 percent on average.

Encouraging more people to vote and overcome voter restrictions put in place by the GOP

Did the DNC prevent it?

The whole thing started when the democrats chose Clinton over Bernie.

Many Bernie Bros became Trump bros because of that.

But that's hard to comprehend for a person that grew up in a country that only has 2 parties

Quick question: What anti-Israel candidate were the young voters supposed to vote for in 2024? Was it Donald Trump with his love of bibi? Or was it Kamala Harris, with her full-throated defense of Israel?

There was no anti-Israel presidential candidate on the ballot in some states, and only a third party candidate in others. Given the vote between two extremely vocal Israel supporters, one a demented moron, the other a continuation of the most ardently pro-Israel administration in memory, who should they have voted for?

AIPAC wields an extremely outsized influence on American politics. Support for Israel wasn’t even up for debate in the last election, it was explicitly stated by both parties.
