If anyone actually wants to stop the genocide in Gaza please vote out your republican congressman, almost every Republican congressman supported the resolution to restart weapons shipments and almost every democrat voted against it.
This isn’t a republican issue only. Most of congress, both democrats and Republicans have been voting in favor of funding israel. The big problem is that most of our politicians are bought by AIPAC.
The “anti semitism” bill passed 320-91 in house.
The 14.3 billon in aid to israel was passed by the house by 366-58. Only 37 Democrats and 21 Republicans opposed the bill.

These numbers don’t paint the full picture of some Democrats voicing moral objections to human suffering, versus some Republicans who object to the existence of government and will vote against funding for anything.
Unfortunately that’s not going to work. Biden’s biggest donors were pissed he even paused the 2,000 pound bombs. Voting out the republicans isn’t going to purge this rot. We’ve worshipped at the altar of money for too long and now we’re going to pay the price. As the old question goes, “What happens when the lords have more power than the king?”
The Israel Security Assistance Support Act was approved 224 to 187, largely along party lines. Sixteen Democrats joined most Republicans in voting yes, and three Republicans joined most Democrats in opposing the measure.
“It is not a serious effort at legislation, which is why some of the most pro-Israel members of the House Democratic caucus will be voting no,” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries told a news conference before the vote.

Well shit, if you have a republican congressman voting then out should already be the default condition.

And of course Cuellar.
Just once I’d like to see one of these democrats who break with the party on key issues not get leadership backing to defeat their primary opponent.
