They fear losing AIPAC money. They dont fear people who say that they will vote them no matter what, because they think they are the lesser of the two evils or something like that. They dont care who you are or what you want. They dont care if you are doing well or getting fucked royally by their policies. They only care if you vote for them or not. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Shizrak@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago They would care if a large enough group stopped paying taxes. But good luck getting +10 million Americans to actually take a stand for what they believe in. permalink fedilink source parent
