    Yes, however at the moment it’s such an exhausting thought to even say why bother? We’re not even a month into the current regime and people where so concerned with letting someone else take a turn at supporting Israel that we couldn’t collectively get our asses in gear to prevent this from happening just a few months ago. We had the chance with an actual vote then to say this shouldn’t happen, and it was well known exactly this was the plan, what difference does it make to yell at them now?

      Because the fight is never over, and it’s more important now than ever, and we need these people to lead and influence politics rather than just sit back and hope that a movement spontaneously erupts to do their job for them. And if they can’t, we need them gone so someone else can rise up who can meet the moment.
