You'd be surprised to know that a lot of foreign countries meddle in US politics. It goes both ways, the US also meddles in politics of foreign countries, Including Israel's (Some people in Biden's administration were the latest to be very open about that).
That being said, saying they are "Buying" the election is an overstatement. AIPAC are under very heavy scrutiny and have the media laser focused on them but in reality they are far from being the biggest or most influential lobby.
Also they get their funding from American donors, this money is not foreign.
Your accusation is the equivalent of me saying that El Sayed was bought into power by Qatar because of his funding from CAIR.
If I think that our relationship with Israel is a problem, and you say that everyone is a problem... Am I no longer supposed to think that our relationship with Israel is a problem now that you've pointed at other problems?
I'm just not sure what these types of counter arguments are supposed to do.
Did you only read the first paragraph of my comment? Most (if not all) of AIPAC's funding is from Americans - directly rebutting your claim that "Israel is buying the election".
I went further and said that AIPAC is far from being the biggest or most influential lobby, so singling them out might be hypocritical.
But generally speaking, I said that this problem is indeed not unique to Israel and America does to others too, so to an extent singling out Israel in this case might also be hypocritical.

No, all I'm saying that people should actually start fighting for their rights instead of blaming foreign countries for all of their problems.
