I don’t vote based on resolution bills because they don’t impact the law. This shit is just used in campaign ads down the line to make whatever argument is convenient for the situation. I would prefer if my rep Shri just abstained. It’s such a lose-lose. Yes we condemn fire bombing people in the streets. We do not condone ICE actions but they’re wrapped In the same little stupid resolution for no real reason.
