Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

That's crazy. If only Biden was receiving massive bribes from AIPAC to support Genocide too. Wouldn't that be ironic?
You can definitely provide proof of this claim, right?
https://www.democracynow.org/2024/1/2/ryan_grim_the_squad_congress_2024
AIPAC is spending 100 million dollars on morally bankrups Democrats to replace AOC, Ilhan Omar and other Democrats that spoke out against israel's Genocide.
Anyone in bed with AIPAC receives massive bribes that's common knowledge. Not in direct cash but in campaigning money so they get into power. And yes this is obviously bribing, I don't care if you refuse to admit that lobbying is bribing.
And Biden is in bed with AIPAC. Surely you're not denying that.
I asked for proof and you could not provide that.
Surely you're not telling me that the article you provided explains all the claims you made.
Here you go

Are you claiming that campaign donations are bribes?
Are you suggesting giving money to politicians to encourage them to do political favors isn't bribing?
Alert the FBI.
Of course they are. That's obvious to anyone who isn't a completely brainwashed American.
Campaign donations from people who lobby for israel are indeed bribes.
What about campaign donations from people who don't lobby for Israel?
Are those not bribes?
Those donations don't fit the narrative that fella is pushing so he won't touch your comment with any actual facts.
If they aren't forcing them to push a certain agenda then sure. But since that's impossible to verify it's best that money gets banned from politics alltogether.
It's very obvious that the people who give speeches at Aipac and call themselves Zionists get a lot of money for their campaign in return. It's a direct exchange. People like AOC don't seem to attract these "generous campaign donors."
Just like how the Russians funded Trumps campaign, israel is bankrolling Bidens (and Trumps of course, they always play both sides).
Okay, so you only want billionaires to run for politics because they can bankroll their own campaigns?
No the amount of campaign funding should be capped.
Billionaires don't consist of "their own money". Most of it is in stocks which get bought by groups that "share their interests"
You're going to have to explain this much better because you completely lost me.
DOJ torched after prosecutors announce Sam Bankman-Fried will not face trial on illegal political donations
Bilionaires are serving foreign interests just as hard if not harder than politicians. Jeffrey Epstein. Panama papers. The list goes on and on...
Are we taking about AIPAC still or have we moved on to FTX?
Oh i thought you wanted billionaire evidence. You want AIPAC?
Pro-israel donor recipients.
1 Biden, Joe (D) President $3,753,244
2 Perdue, David (R-GA) Senate $1,053,098
3 Trump, Donald (R) President $894,032
The Biden administration has withdrawn the nomination of a leading law professor to an international human rights post, for describing Israel as an “apartheid state” and accusing the top Democrat in Congress of being “bought” by pro-Israel groups.
I’m just trying to follow this disjointed conversation.
It's going everywhere but in the end we're all happy to admit that Genocide Joe is a foreign agent just like Trump.
Yet you fail to provide evidence, you just go off on other topics in circles without getting to the point.
You can admit whatever you'd like but I prefer to wait for the facts and evidence.
My previous comment contains a link stating Biden received the most israeli money out of any candidate. Even more than Trump.
If you say nothing is evidence then I'm not sure what you're looking for. Or are you claiming that source is false
OK bro. Supporting Genocide is probably the his hobby.
If you're an American you support genocide too!
Anyone who doesn't vote for Biden or Trump doesn't support Genocide.
You still pay for it, and that's supporting it!
Voting for something is a hell of a lot different than someone extorting your money and spending it on causes you don't agree with.
If you vote for someone you directly endorse their policy.
No one is extorting your money, you're giving it up.
Just renounce your citizenship and move to a neutral country or go off grid and stop paying taxes like Ted Kaczynski, bro.
Did you move to a different country when Trump won in 2016 because you didn't support his policy? This slippery slope example somehow only applies to Democrats I guess.
I didn't have to because I was born in Canada and still live here.
We voted for a ceasefire between Gaza and Israel at the UN.
That's good to hear. Looks like your leaders realized that they weren't going to get reelected by supporting genocide because the population would refuse to vote for it.
Hope Americans take note.
I think it's cute that you think voters will remember that in November.
