AIPAC is expected to spend $100 million across its political entities in 2024, taking aim at candidates they deem insufficiently supportive of Israel

It's like expecting these politicians to vote for a salary decrease for themselves. And of course constitutional amendments require even more than usual, 67% votes. I'm not saying impossible just very unlikely.

Agreed, and yet that is the only way out I can see.

A revolution is probably unlikely. But this fake democratic system is even more unlikely to be changed by voting. I'll give the woke Hamas supporters credit for a moment. They are out in the streets violently protesting. I may disagree with the cause but I agree that the methods are leading to change. Hamas attacked people, propaganda of the deed. Caused reactionary attacks by Israel which most left wingers are against. Pressuring Biden. They don't have money to Donate, not as much as AIPAC anyway. So when you don't have money to donate you pressure politicians in other ways.
