Apart from all the members of congress who remained seated, as was already mentioned. I'm guessing neither AOC nor Bernie Sanders stood up and applauded if they were there.

Yes, about half of Democrats weren't applauding like seals. Half still were, which is unacceptable.

Okay, so condemn the ones who were and don't act like it was unanimous.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

Exactly. Even better, vote out the Republican supporters in the fall.

[-] retrospectology@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

No one said it was unanimous. It was still hundreds of sitting members of congress, both democrats and republicans.

And people do try to condemn the specific members of our government who support the genocide, like Joe Biden. And you know what happens? People like you pop-up and defend them and deflect.

You literally just spent the entirety of yesterday trying to get me to shut up about condemning genocide support and talking about holding genocide supporters politically accountable.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

No, I did not literally do that at all. In any way. That's just a lie. I have never tried to get you or anyone else to shut up about condemning genocide.

Why are you lying?
