If the majority of a nation wants their representatives to stop arming a genocide but those representatives refuse, it means they are not afraid to lose votes. By voting for the "lesser evil" for decades you didn't honor the right to vote so many fought for, you devalued the only currency you had.

This is a series about jerks, blowhards, racists, creeps, narcs, petty tyrants, tenured incompetents, passive–aggressive underminers, Taylorist fussbudgets, Pinkertonish snoops, pious liberal union-killers, and sneering capitalist dickheads, which is to say it is a series about bosses. From 2021:

LOVE HIS HAT! Apparently, it serves to conceal something else.
Trump's dodging the cameras as much as he's been dodging the Epstein files
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

Republicans knowingly voted for this. They voted for as many as 850,000 children in NC to go without adequate nutrition assistance. It's cruel and it's shameful, and I'll do everything I can to get this funding back. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...
