Yeah you sure put pressure on the American government to stop that one by assuring them you’ll still vote for them if they don’t even promise to end funding to a genocide. I’m sorry but any way you slice it to me, this attitude makes you complicit.

I don't think you understand how American government works if you think abstaining from voting is pressuring anybody to do anything.

I don’t think YOU understand how governments work if you can’t even understand that applying pressure to a government to do something will change their platform during elections. It’s part of why Biden stepped down dude.
