That AIPAC money hit different though
(lemmy.world)
Two things can be bad at once, shocker
It's return2ozma...he can't read :/
It's so crazy that you think anyone of us is completely ok with lobbyists and super PACs. Everyone one I've known hates that shit but sure we just love the fact that monied interests get to influence our elections. Sure.
But of course you will ignore the fact one party has spoken out against citizens united and one party has installed supreme court justices that will keep bribery legal.
It's very weird that you've internalized the criticism in this meme. It's just pointing out that the U.S. condemns foreign interference from Russia while institutionalizing foreign interference from Israel. I understand that the OP is very critical of Democrats and liberals, but that's not in this meme. It's a criticism of the American political system in general, and it sounds like you agree with it. Why are you treating it like an attack?
The title is implying hypocrisy.
Yeah, a hypocrisy between Russian influence campaigns and Israeli influence campaigns. AIPAC gives heavily to both Republicans and Democrats, the title and text don't mention political parties, and the picture is of an empty AIPAC stage, with nothing to indicate party affiliation. If you see an anti-Democrat bias in this meme, you're adding it.
(And before anyone accuses me of being pro-Russia, I think the accusations against RT are credible and serious. I just think it's insane that we've institutionalized foriegn interference in our elections through Super PACs for our, "allies.")
I mentioned no party affiliation. So you're the one assuming anti-democratic. I'm pointing out there is no hypocrisy on this issue amongst the people I know.
And my second statement is directed at OP and his continued campaigning for the fanta menence.
It's so crazy that you think anyone of us...
I wonder who you meant by, "us?"
But of course you will ignore the fact one party has spoken out against citizens united and one party has installed supreme court justices that will keep bribery legal.
Oh, that's who you meant by, "us."
You clearly interpreted this as a being anti-Democrat, or at least not sufficiently pro-Democrat. You added a partisan lense to a criticism of American politics, not the OP. OP certainly feels that way based on his account history, but it's not in the meme.
Us being people who read political memes.
Dude I already gave you my full break down. Just f off ozma apologist.
OK, then again, it's super weird that you've internalized the criticism in this meme. There are centrist accounts on this instance that I don't like, but I don't accuse them of punching left when they say something I agree with.
It's super weird you want to dissect one posters disgruntled criticism of OP. I guess we all have our quarks.
There's only one Quark.
And it's yours...?
Quark belongs to everyone. He's a national treasure.

A party that is out to destroy your way of life interfering with your election is indeed a lot worse than some uneasy ally doing the same.
I don't know it seems to me that Israel is dragging the US into a very destructive regional war between two nuclear nations. Once you light that touch paper, who knows where that will lead.
