paltry sum of campaign funds

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

AIPAC was one of the largest outside donors in the 2024 elections, spending $100 million in 389 congressional races (26 in the Senate, 363 in the House). 318 Zionist candidates who received money from AIPAC were elected that year.

The Harris Campaign spent $1,176,074,620.47

The total spending on all campaigns in 2024 was over 21 Billion Dollars.

How many votes do you think $100M in advertisements is going to earn? That's hardly enough money to put an ad in the face of 1 of 3 people in the USA one time.

Apparently 318 seats worth.
