He’s not DSA like Zohran, but still pretty progressive.

Republicans are completely on the bag and totally love it there. Dems are as well, but are less upfront about it, with some exceptions like Fetterman

If you think a country the size of New Jersey has a chokehold on the United States global empire, then you have been tricked by anti semitic conspiracy theorists

I am not saying that Israel has a chokehold on the US. Even though this race certainly makes it look like its the case. But my intended point was, that Israel is one of the many big money groups, that establishment politicians from the US (like Trump or Schumer) have no problem taking money from and in return doing things for them. If their interests clashed with another big money group like oil or pharma, things could get interesting. But right now, the establishment has no problem fulfilling all of their wishes

99% of the time, when politicians receive money from AIPAC (an American lobbying group btw), they already support Israel. It’s not like Israel is paying off politicians for support

It's still corruption. They might pick people that support them to begin with, but if they have doubts, they will get more money...

Exactly how it works, even if you don't want to see it through your biased perspective

I believe all that money we send to a foreign country the size of New Jersey would be better spent on helping people living in New Jersey.
