what's "funny" is aipac probably would've ghosted stevens if she won, because then it'd be zionist vs zionist (rogers has taken half a million from aipac already) and it wouldn't have mattered that much to them who won. but now that it's AES vs rogers, they might double down on the general campaign.

I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.

genuinely idk how he doesn't understand idea that being poor is costly. even if you don't subscribe to the boots theory as a way of explaining how buying an inferior, cheaper thing means you're going to be replacing/repairing it more often, leasing/lending has become ubiquitous in the last ~50 years
