    How the fuck are ‘we’ complicit in it when our government only follows the average citizen’s will in 10% of their policies?

    You’re just like the megacorps chiding us for not recycling our water bottle caps.

      The American public isn’t trying to recall or remove politicians who support unrestricted arms sales to Israel. Both Biden and Trump are for unrestricted sales, it seems.

        Some of the American public is, and is being ignored just like I mentioned.

        Both Biden and Trump are for unrestricted sales, it seems.

        I don’t give a fuck if Biden ate homeless ass for fun on fridays, I’m not voting for a twice impeached seditionist that called for the violent overthrow of a legal election.

          If Biden wants to ignore the will of voters then he can win his own election without us.

          I want Trump to lose too, but Biden has been really insulting to the pro-Palestine voters, which is unlike any presidents before him. He couldn’t even bring himself to acknowledge or pretend to grieve for dead Palestinians although he publicly hugs families of Israeli victims.

              That cuts both ways. We don’t believe Biden along with his moderate and liberal voters are taking the threat of Trump seriously when they refuse to compromise with leftists and progressives they’re depending on for votes. If you believe Trump is half as dangerous as you say he is then cutting off weapon shipments is a bargain. Refusing to block strikes is a bargain. Pick a lane.
