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.”)
