      It seems so pathetically small that this is what a politician costs. This is less than 2% of one billion, which in itself is just a fracture of what the rich have to their name. If you’re gonna whore out your politics at least have the dignity to ask for more than chump change

      I don’t think it is that.

      AIPAC has invested significantly in ensuring Israeli friendly politicians for decades. There will likely be a lot of political blowback in what could end up being only pausing American participation in the genocide should the election go the wrong way.

      We could crowd fund more and buy decisions that make our world better.

      Ah sorry, we already do. They’re called taxes. They just don’t give a shit about their actual job but only their personal gain.
