I hope you're prepared for a lot of "abstain" votes.

I'd say fence-sitting this vote is even more an indictment than just a "No" vote personally; it doesn't take a MENSA candidate to tell whether or not funding a genocidal morass of settlers is morally correct

Yeah, saying ‘no comment’ to stopping a thing we’re already doing is just adding a meaningless word after the ‘no’

Still tells me everything I need to know. Silence is violence

Thats a bit dramatic, its more like silence is complacency in congress

Abstaining is pro genocide imo

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

That is a perfectly clear message for me actually.

It's about opposing genocide or not. "Do nothing knowing that will cause the genocide to continue" is close enough to "continue the genocide" for me.
