Nobody should be surprised, the Dems and GOP are two sides of the same coin, they both serve the interests of elites.
Foreign policy stays consistent and on course, the National Security apparatus with all the surveillance at it's disposal
and its capacity to erode civil rights at will, serves both party establishments
It's kabuki theatre at its finest..
Hasbara's Mixed Results In Illinois
But believe it or not, AIPAC-linked groups spent even more in the races they lost, laying out the most money in Illinois’s Ninth District.
In that race, the groups spent $4.4 million to support Laura Fine, a state senator, who finished in third place. They also spent $1.4 million opposing Daniel Biss, the Evanston mayor, and $1.2 million opposing a third candidate, Kat Abughazaleh, an outspoken Israel critic. One of the AIPAC-linked groups even made
a last-minute gambit to promote a fourth candidate, Bushra Amiwala, who the group said after the election was “anti-Israel,” seemingly to siphon votes from Ms. Abughazaleh.
Mr. Biss won, and addressed AIPAC directly in his victory speech. “The Ninth District is not for sale,” he said.
And in the Seventh District, AIPAC’s main super PAC spent $5 million supporting Melissa Conyears-Ervin, the city treasurer of Chicago, who
lost to La Shawn K. Ford, a state representative.
The Illinois elections were especially freighted for AIPAC
after the group face-planted in a New Jersey special election last month, spending heavily to stop a moderate former congressman from winning and instead winding up with a pro-Palestinian progressive nominee, Analilia Mejia.
