Politics in a nutshell. Politicians don't usually wanna do anything "controversial" because it can affect election results, but since they are in lame-duck session now, it doesn't matter anymore so they start to do whatever they feel like.

Supporting genocide wasn’t controversial?

Its not actually controversal. Both parties support giving weapons to Israel. Only like a few progressive Democrats opposed it. Like Biden could veto all he wants, its getting the 2/3 congressional override anyways.

Real life isn't like Lemmy. The average person doesn't care about a genocide overseas. Talk to people irl and you'll see just how much the average person cares. Its unfortunate, but it is reality. 😓
