    It’s also giving 1.8 billion dollars in weapons to Israel. Fuck every single dem who voted for genocide, and the few republicans who didn’t vote for it because it was insufficiently genocidal.

      This was included in a funding bill. If that wouldn’t pass the government would shut down. You can blame Republicans for those extra things added.

        the government would shut down

        Good. A government that needs to commit genocide to even function shouldn’t exist.

        Imagine trying to use that as an excuse to fund genocide.

        You can blame Republicans

        Biden has been bypassing congress to send “israel” weapons faster.

        Then the government should’ve fucking shut down. Not even close to an excuse for voting to fund genocide and I’m utterly baffled as to how you could possibly make such an argument.

          Yeah, let’s hurt others for your own protest. Maybe you should do your own hunger strike?

            Us privileged asses in the US will suffer exponentially less harm, especially in the long term, than those of the tens of thousands we’re helping fund the slaughter of.

        People are missing the forest for the trees but you are right.

        If Republicans force this through on every bill then at some point it would have to pass. You can’t just shut down the US government indefinitely in the real world.
