I haven't done that, like, at all.

The political process enables it.
Yes. I think if liberals didn't call people who couldn't bring themselves to vote pro-genocide "idiots" then the flame wars wouldn't go on.
The 40k+ dead under a dem president probably don't care one way or the other.
No options offered any opposition, to our oligarchs.
Casting a vote for anyone in the last election wasn't going to halt any genocide.
That was the problem.
Trained two people in the use of firearms yesterday. Sunday, I hosted first aid training for a dozen people.
Next week, a general assembly for my block is happening, to plan gardens.
What are you doing or have done to actually reduce harm?
What harm is reduced by voting for crimes against humanity, and continuing the oppression of the working class domestically and abroad?
So, your desired outcome was to keep the genocides in foreign lands going, to maybe slow it down in the US?
American colonialism and imperialism never ended.
Trying everything except:
- not sending weapons
- supporting UN actions to stop it
- sending peacekeeping forces
- sending relief supplies
- not supporting a rogue nuclear nation
- financial embargo on Israel
Oh, mitigate things in Palestine?
I send regular donations to groups there for aid.
What beyond that, do you suggest? Voting for a dem wouldn't have changed things for them. Neither do phone calls.
Intried the phone call route, letters, etc. I was told by my dem reps, that it's important for the US to maintain a strong security presence there, to protect Israelis.
