@ROKHANNA FOR PRESIDENT. PERIOD. END OF STORY. #BernieSanders is (sadly) too old and NOT COMING TO SAVE US. It's time us progressives pick a new champion and get behind him #tendoesdown 1,000% ‼️ @hasanthehun you KNOW I'm right. Why not someone who's been TTD FOR #BERNIE since #dayone
I completely agree. I think it's time for an exposé on all the House and Senate members receiving AIPAC money -- just like is done with the arms manufacturers/NRA. Voters need to know when our representatives are voting in Israel's interests not in ours.
Everyone needs to call their representatives and question them about receiving funds from AIPAC. They threw millions of dollars into the primary races of Cori Busch and Jamaal Bowman in order to defeat them for their stand on Israel.
There is a site called Donor Lookup OpenSecrets, accessed by "open secrets.org" which lists members of Congress, their donors and the amounts donated. They're currently a little behind (still loading 2024), but working to catch up.
It was already of concern in the 60s when John Kennedy called for AIPAC to be a registered foreign agent. The situation has only worsened as we can all see.
What Did I Do For MY Democracy? The Answer Rests With YOU
We as citizens have an obligation to speak out against the federal government
Expect and insist free and fair elections
DO NOT become cynical about elections
Phone calls matter to legislators
Yard signs matter
Everybody has a townsquare where we can make our voices heard So Engage Don’t shy away from difficult conversations Let them know how you feel about people disappearing off the streets is not OK Taking away medical care from our unfortunate citizens for tax breaks for the uberwealthy
I'm sorry mehdi, but the audio is so bad. Downright unlistenable. A big shame because Ro is a hero of mine, and I want to listen to everything he says. But it *is* THAT bad.
When you root out AIPAC, the cockroaches will scatter. There are untold crimes throughout Congress. It’s now obvious to all that no matter the party, none of the leaders for decades are representing the people; not left, right or middle just getting an envelope of money with their vote instructions.
Am I wrong in my understanding that Khanna dismissed supporting an impeachment resolution against Trump at least in part because Democratic presidents, e.g., Obama, had also engaged in unconstitutional wars? He was referring to our war against Libya, which Obama argued was not a war because we didn’t have boots on the ground. Obama’s own Justice Department disagreed with him, but he went forward anyway. Many people, including myself, voted for Obama in 2008 because he said the Iraq War was a “mistake.” Not immoral or illegal, mind you, but a mistake. Before the 2008 election, the MSM ran stories saying that Obama’s opposition to the Iraq War was based on the advice of his handlers, who said it would play well in his liberal Illinois district. They had to convince him. After he was elected, he was quoted widely as saying his position would have been the same as Bush’s had he been president. Then, he adopted Bush’s timetable for getting out. He tried to extend the war past that point and withdrew some, not all, troops only because Iraq refused to give immunity to U.S. troops who had committed war crimes against Iraqi civilians. When Obama became president, he let Wall Street appoint his cabinet. All of this was and is in the public record, most of it in the MSM. I’m not convinced that Obama was a fraud so much as I’m convinced that U.S. voters believed what they wanted to about him despite a lot of evidence to the contrary. He was compared to FDR while distancing himself publicly from FDR and praising Reagan. Khanna needs to realize that praising Obama is going to turn off as many voters as it attracts. Maybe more. Obama, with his machinations against Sanders in 2016, is part of the Republican-lite trend in the party introduced by Clinton. Everything was there to be seen beforehand. Voters need to start paying more attention to candidates’ actual votes and all of their statements, not just public relations-created personalities and images. We are too easily manipulated.
As us lefties have been saying for a long time, the United States Congress is an Israeli occupied territory.
Influence?!?!?! How about full control.
There is only one political party in our nation, the AIPAC party.
The messianic, end-times evangelists are right there with them.
Absolutely, they are a branch and source of money for them.

Yes, I wrote this with the intention of copying and pasting to Twitter 🤣
the audio on this video is awful
Ro had the mic. too close to his mouth. I really wanted to understand what he was saying 😬
I wish Mehdi was able to correct him. He doesn’t know how to use a ic.

You can look it up on the nonprofit website Open Records. Just for giggles, start with Jakeem Jeffries.
Open Secrets

The US is a ZOG (Zionist Occupied Government),
Don't just put a cap on super PAC donations; eliminate super PACs.
Likewise, it's not the "appearance" of corruption that is killing the country; it's the ACTUALITY of corruption.

Thank you! Rep. RO!
Can we get a transcript 😬
Just couldn't listen because of the audio.

The sound quality of this interview is hard to understand.
