    Biden has been paid over 5 million dollars since 1990 by pro Israel groups. That’s what you’re celebrating here. The rich politician who’s aiding a genocide making fun of being poor…

      that’s $150K a year over 30 years, and that’s aggregated from numerous groups. He’s raised something like 70 million in the last year alone. Is your point that the influence from “pro Israel” groups is statistical noise?

        Just that a neoliberal will excuse literal genocide if it’s their guy being paid to do it.

          But the numbers don’t add up. He’s probably being paid more money from people that want him to stop. I’m saying the money doesn’t seem to have any influence one way or the other.

            Well I brought receipts and you brought assumptions. Looks a lot like bribery from here.

            Also who the fuck are you? only $150,000 a year for 30 years??

              what receipts? You posted a number and no proof. I literally just did math on your comment.

              and 150K is one fifth of one percent (0.02%) of what the DNC raised the last quarter of 2023.

              If you’re trying to prove money==influence, you’ve successfully argued that no one is buying much of any influence with DNC for $150K a year.

              I’m not even arguing for or against your point, I’m just trying to point out that you’re providing evidence against the point you’re trying to make.
