WTF? Which words did I try to put in your mouth, exactly?

You must be unaware that both SEIU and AIPAC are political action committees that, regardless of your sympathies to their respective causes, serve exactly the same function. They both serve people. Your likes or dslikes play no role in their purpose.

And neither one is obligated to serve "us", whatever your definition of "us" may be. Unless you are a service employee, SEIU doesn't serve you. And unless you are a supporter of Israel, AIPAC doesn't serve you either. PACs donate to political campaigns. So unless you are running for office, you will not see a penny of their money either. Duh.
