While Pro-Israel DFMI PAC announced it's contributions to candidates around the country, in Chicago AIPAC hid it's contributions through dark money PACs 'Elect Chicago Women' and 'Affordable Chicago'. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/secret-money-roils-democratic-primaries-rcna257433

Stop Worshipping the Founding Fathers--They Designed the American System to Screw You
Resistance History with Tad Stoermer
The founders explicitly hated democracy. They called it mob rule. And when they said "the mob," they meant everyone who didn't walk, talk, and look like them.
