Oh cool, they're trying to make complicity in genocide mandatory and it passed with 16 Dems voting in favor.
That's not at all a horrifying portent of what's to come no matter which out of touch authoritarian wins in November..

Looks like I have a representative to call.
Mine is hiding behind a submission form requiring a permanent address in their district in order to contact them.
Looks like I'll just have to show up at their office to ask why they sent bombs to kill thousands of innocent women and children.
Another pointless bill that still has to be voted on in the Senate and if it passes there will be vetoed by Biden. The folks in the House need to watch Schoolhouse Rock...
The House and the GOP know exactly what they are doing. They passed a repeal of Obamacare something like 80 times in Obama's last few months in office and then didn't dare pass one while Trump was there.
This is political theater meant to rile up the base.
And 16 centrist Democrats voted with Republicans on the bill because, and I cannot stress this enough, centrists fucking love genocide.
Another pointless bill that still has to be voted on in the Senate and if it passes there will be vetoed by Biden.
