It won’t matter if they reach the total needed electoral votes.
As of April 15, 2024, the National Popular Vote bill has been enacted into law in 18 jurisdictions possessing 209 electoral votes, including
6 small jurisdictions (District of Columbia, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont),
9 medium-sized states (Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington), and
3 big states (California, Illinois, New York)
After the last 25 years of American presidential elections, I’m more convinced than ever that I cannot trust a minority or a majority of them to make the right choices.
Tangentially and rhetorically, I wish Trump were president right now so that non-right-wing Americans could be convinced that genocide’s not a good look.
Yeah but the people who own land matter more. The 17 that passed this are probably not the 100% red states here so this is gonna go nowhere

As of January, 63% of Democrats think Israel has gone too far vs. 33% of Republicans.
24% of Republicans think Israel hasn’t gone far enough vs. 9% of Democrats.

Also, Palestine isn’t the only concern regarding genocide and US support.
Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. They’ve abducted over 700,000 Ukrainian children to be raised as Russians since the beginning of the war.
If Trump takes office in November, Ukraine will lose all US support.
