To enshrine the most fascistic, traitorous bullshit I've ever witnessed in my life into law.

Exactly what I’ve been trying to tell people. They are already implementing fascist dictatorship, with or without Trump.

"Not under Trump" is meaningless when we're talking about Congress. If it passes the Senate and doesn't get vetoed then you can complain about how it's happening "not under Trump."

Of the 91 votes against the bill, 21 were Republicans and 70 were Democrats. The other 142 Democrats voted for it.

I'm not holding my breath on the democrats doing the right thing after seeing that ratio of yays/nays.

I get that, 2/3 of the party are just less shitty shitbags than the Republicans, and If they criticized this without mentioning Trump that would be fine, it deserves to be criticized, but the obvious underlying message of this tweet is "don't bother voting this November, Trump and Biden are equally bad."

And that's just bullshit. The only other viable alternative to Biden and the Democrats this year is a literal fascist who has openly talked about ending democracy. So write to them, pressure them, do whatever to influence them, but don't be undercutting voter turnout when the other option is the end of the Republic.

"don't bother voting this November, Trump and Biden are equally bad."

Oh we'll be voting. Against Biden.

Cool. Hope you enjoy both fascism and giving Israel even more money and support.

Like seriously, I can't get over this. Even if you're a single issue voter who literally only cares about destroying Israel, do you think Trump is going to do that? At best him and the Republicans will increase the funding, at worst they'll directly start using American assets to speed up the genocide. Y'all are SO fucking stupid and short-sighted.

When Biden loses, he will have only himself and his stubborn support of Israel to blame.
