Let's say you have a choice between the party of Trump and the party of ... people who take campaign donations from AIPAC.

Are you SERIOUSLY going to say you'd sit that out, or vote against so-called "paid by AIPAC"???

The problem is that money buys elections in this country.

You may think your fave isn't bought and paid for. But even if that is true today, it will not stay that way, or they will not stay in office if they even get there once in the first place.

What the fuck is it with using AIPAC as a litmus test anyway, when the alternative is fucking Trump???
