    Just a reminder that he, and your local representatives all have offices where they can receive letters, emails, and phone calls from their constituents. If you don’t like that your rep wants to murder babies, you should probably let them know.

      What’s that going to do? I mean, I’m all for telling off the politicians that represent me (fucking Mike Johnson can eat a dick) but the GOP genuinely doesn’t care what their voters have to say. They locked down their vote by making it us vs them. Their own voters could tell them they’re doing horrible and they’d still get those votes without changing anything because conservatives have been successfully brainwashed into thinking democrats are all evil.

      GOP politicians are in a position where they can literally just laugh in your face about a complaint like this…

        I’ll tell you what, if his office is overrun by mail and phonecalls of angry people saying killing babies is not okay, he’s probably going to lose some staffers.

        You might be able to take a punch, but you don’t want death by a thousand cuts.

          Or lose their salaries, as an employee who could have been doing campaign work is now stuck sifting through mail all day.

          You say that like they’ll ever even see it. 100% guarantee every single one of these guys has an intern or a secretary take these messages.

            At that point the goal is to so entirely overwhelm the secretary that they become incapable of doing any real work, needing to wade through mail all day each day to make sure nothing of serious importance is missed in the sea of angry voters.

            If you do it right, you actually waste the time of 2 or more employees on their weekly schedule. It literally costs them money to ignore you.

            Yep, my congressman has 2. Call until they take the phone off the hook.

            Have things delivered cod so they have to deal with that hassle.

            Do the same with food so they can’t easily order it.

            Do it until they quit working for pieces of shit and they have to hire and train more and then keep going.

        I’m not going to condone sending prank bomb packages to representatives. That’s how you end up on a list.

        Also, glitter is basically a war crime. Shiny microplastics you can never remove from every crevice, it’s like party herpes. Which, I suppose is also regular herpes.

      They don’t give a fuck about abortion, they just use that as a tool to be cruel to women.

      Once you acknowledge that the cruelty is the point, a lot of their hypocrisy and self-contradiction suddenly makes sense.

      “Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to 9 months. After that, they don’t wanna know about you. They don’t wanna hear from you. No nothing! No neonatal care, no daycare, no Head Start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re pre-born, you’re fine, if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.” — George Carlin

        There’s a significant online population so frustrated with Biden’s support of Israel in the face of the Gaza invasion, they have declared they want Biden to lose.

        Unfortunately, as this exemplifies, the GOP is at least as bad as Biden on this front. So “punishing” Biden doesn’t do anything at all for the plight of the Palestinians.

          Oh yeah I am totally one of them.

          Y’all can either support someone better or deal with what you get.

          He tricked me into thinking he was a good guy too at first.

          We are blaming Iran for the strike that killed 3 of our guys but somehow we are completely blameless for what the Israelis are doing with the weapons we give them.

          Fuck that genocide supporting fucking hypocrite.

          If you support him then you are supporting his actions and we deserve whatever we get from allowing it.

          We are sick of being fucking ignored and you people always coming back with bullshit.

          The candidates will never change as long as we keep supporting them.

          Apparently trump land version 1 was not bad enough to get you to listen to us, maybe version 2 will be bad enough to snap y’all out of it.

    At least he’s honest. More than can be said about most people defending the genocide in Gaza. Most are too ashamed to say outright they don’t see Arabs as human.

      We don’t need them to be honest to know that they’re garbage humans. We need them to stop being garbage humans. More importantly, we need a way to stop them from doing harm.

      Don’t get distracted by praising them just because they took the mask off. They don’t deserve praise for that, praise for being openly monstrous. If anything, this is the time to call them out more loudly for not even making the effort to hide it.

        Not very likely, short of sending them on a one-way trip to Mars. Then they become human garbage instead.

    “I would encourage the other side to not so lightly throw around the idea of ‘innocent Palestinian civilians,’ as is frequently said,” he said on the House floor.

    “I don’t think we would so lightly throw around the term ‘innocent Nazi civilians’ during World War II.”

    I’m not saying we should go back to representatives getting into physical brawls and duels, in fact it is a terrible idea. But some people clearly have just never faced consequences in the form of getting their ass kicked and it really shows.
