    Everyone in leadership is compromised by AIPAC, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and so on.

    1. Israel was formed by USA and is doing its job well (that job being dominate the Middle East) so that’s a no-brainer. It’s a symbiotic relationship, they’re like our 51st state. D or R… are not really “compromised” in my opinion, but Israel has a lot of leverage with US foreign policy, more than any other nation.
    2. Corporations are in firm and undeniable control of all US leadership, as is to be expected when “corporations are people” and “dollars are free speech”. There’s no other possible result.

    To change either relationship would require fundamental reconstruction of our “donor” funded elections and reversal of 70 years of US foreign policy. As long as we (“we” being the USA) want to dominate the middle east, Israel will remain maximally influential.

    You can replace Schumer and Jeffries, but their replacements will also be pro-Israel and pro-billionaire.

      Everyone currently in leadership is compromised. But we just voted in new blood who isn’t, and there are also more established congresspeople who aren’t compromised by corporations or AIPAC/Zionist influence.

      You can replace Schumer and Jeffries, but their replacements will also be pro-Israel and pro-billionaire.

      This is speculation and it is unhelpful. Right now, we have a window of time to pressure our congresspeople to replace Schumer and Jeffries with people who have proven themselves to fight against billionaires and Zionists. Is it an uphill fight? Yeah, but the outcome has not been decided yet, let’s not accept defeat without trying.
