Bill to provide Israel with 12,000 brand new "child-melter 4000s" passes with unanimous bipartisan support.
Right. That's why the whole democracy process isn't supposed to begin and end with election day... But I have a suspicion, and it is just a suspicion, that a lot of the public don't actually have as much of a problem with genocide as we assume they would.
I'm not entirely certain my own neighbours could locate Palestine or Israel on a map.
Very depressing and completely real, unfortunately.
The state of public education and historical knowledge honestly makes me second guess the idea of re-education camps, lol. Seems preferable to decades of bloodshed fighting unlimited waved of ignorant propagandized fascists.
Maybe a clockwork orange style eye opening device with the Gaza genocide playing in one eye and both sides of the American political elite saying there's no evidence of humanitarian violations in the other.
So in other words even if voting did work you're going to end up with someone as shitty as the average American and they're still going to commit genocide
That’s not what happens when voting works.
It’s what happens when you vote and then do nothing else.
Yes it is
I do agree with that
I do think it odd that the Palestine protests seemed to dry up recently... It got visibility and there were protests before the election, and then nothing. It really just reads almost like the movement cared more about making a point about complicit Democrats than genuine care for the issue, and once Biden and his ilk were "held to account", they gave up.
Yes, there might be a case of the media colluding to not cover it as much anymore because they were no longer useful in swinging the election, but I think it might be a little of Column A and a little of Column B...
