    It’s deciding that your representative cannot be swayed by protest.

    Adorably naive. They’re ‘swayed’ by donors, votes, and sometimes lawsuits. At best they’ll give lip service to your protest.

    But democracy doesn’t and can’t depend on ‘swaying’ representatives, it depends on voting in those that represent you and voting out those that do not. The 365 day voter thing is cute and all- just remember to actually vote.

      Fucking hell, it depends on a hell of a lot more than voting. If you’re not engaged in making your policy desires known then you’re in no position to complain about how regrettable it is they’re committing atrocities.

      Make your vote worth something.

            Not sure if you’re confusing me with another person you’re ranting at or just running with your imagination at this point.

              Voting\donating are the only material support we can offer them.

              “Biden can’t help himself in supporting their genocide, the only thing we can do is help clean up the mess he’s leaving behind”

              I know exactly who i’m lecturing, their just forgetting the words they’re saying

                That’s interesting. What else does the version of me that lives in your head say?

                  “please stop complaining about my candidate supporting a genocide, you’re gonna make him lose”

                    Weird. But I don’t have a version of you in my head though so I can’t really play along with your delusion here.
