Yeah let's stop calling fetterman a democrat

John fetterman hasn't switched parties yet?

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

He's in the right party.

In a just world they would all be prosecuted for war crimes.

Surprised to not see Slotkin on here. Were the weapons labeled with the words 'for offense only' written in sharpie or something, so she could convince herself to do the right thing?

Didn't she miss it because she was busy being on Colbert?

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe she read some of the comments below her absolute reaming of an interview with Krystal Ball, and thought she should maybe look into this shame and disgust thing that she should be feeling when sending money for bullets to shoot children in the head and testicles (depending on what limb the IDF chooses to shoot that day).

I left out something important - she was one of three Democrat Senators to miss the vote. (Gallego and Kelly were the other two.)

Missing is about the same as voting for it in this case.

Write them a physical letter

I am literally too broke for stamps right now, so I've been using FaxZero to send letters I write, print, sign in ink, and scan with my phone to the fax number on their Senate website.

Hell yeah. Anything you can do does make a difference even if it's only for your own mental health.
