This isn't really true, though some are. It's just that both Democrats and Republicans are almost all owned by the owner class, so support any corporate protections. That isn't anything that Republicans own. It's both parties.
and funded by big oil, gillibrand is the most blatant one, she even received an "award from them.
Right. How else is Jeffries and Chuck going to afford their beach front property in Gaza if they don't receive million from the fossil fuel lobby.
they just ask aipac for more dollars, which is basically us tax money.
Don’t know about that part. It’s just rooting for a team to stand up literally and it ain’t happening as much, preventing unnecessary spending, marginalizing communities, is been the rapport for either parties.

no why would he, he made it clear he only supports israel above all else.
