    And what happens if they lose the reelection? What do you think happens? Wonderful, you get to pat yourself on the back for being so morally righteous that you helped usher in Project 2025 and the end of American Democracy. You get to tell everyone that maybe if they just listened to you then this would have never happened. Sound like success, don’t it? I can’t imagine how terrifying a Dictator controlling the world’s strongest military would be, especially if they push through Christian Rule, like they’ve always wanted to do.

    Instead of trying to get your Senators and Representatives to put pressure on Washington, you’d rather just threaten to destroy the whole system if you don’t get your way. I “waste my time” so that other people might see how asinine this whole temper tantrum people like you are throwing. I fucking hate that the Gazan people are being murdered, raped, tortured, bombed, starved, and humiliated by the hands of the IDF, but I’m not going to burn my house down to protest it. There’s other ways to try and get Washington to help stop this, and destroying our way of life is not it.

      Unless you’re talking about direct action to stop arms manufacture/transport or do economic damage to israel, there’s literally not, that’s how representative democracy works, if you cannot make a credibly tell a politician they won’t get elected unless they do what you’re telling them, you are not represented.

      That’s literally the only pressure we have on politicians.

        I thought Beijing had better English schools for its agents.

          I edited “make a credible threat” to “tell” and fucked it up.

          I wish I spoke mandarin.
