The American People Are an Unrepresented Majority
The reason democracy has failed in the United States is that those who provide large campaign donations are permitted to purchase the government. Among those who purchase our government, two are extremely influential: the military/security complex and the Israel Lobby. I still remember the day when Senator Strom Thurmond, the longest serving US Senator, on the floor of the US Senate tapped me, a Senate staffer, on the shoulder and told me, “son don’t ever let your Senator vote against a military bill or he won’t be here next term and you will be out of a job.”
It wasn’t long afterwards that I learned that voting against any bill favored by Israel was also a termination of service vote.
