Viking_hippie already answered that “As for revealing who supports genocide, at last vote it was everyone in the Senate except him and 3 others and everyone in the House except the Squad and about a dozen others IIRC.”. He could do it again. Hammer legislation so it constantly reveals who support genocide.
Their answer is wrong. It would never be put up for a vote in the first place. The Senate has to unanimously consent to putting any resolution up to a floor vote. This can be done by voice vote so you will have absolutely no idea who is for or against even allowing it to be voted on.
The lack of basic knowledge of civics on Lemmy is really depressing.
So, again, how does this get things done? Would it save a single Palestinian life? Would it make Netanyahu think twice about conducting this genocide?
What do you want him to do? Pick up a gun, fly over to Israel, make his way to Netanyahu’s office and shoot him in the face?
I mean, I wouldn’t complain…
He could legislate, that’s his job. Introduce actual legislation to reveal who supports genocide. That would be a good start.
That legislation would go absolutely nowhere. It wouldn’t even be put up for a vote. What would be the point?
Better not do anything then. Just strongly spoken words or strongly worded letters… That will probably get things done.
How will your legislation idea get things done?
How will you idea of not doing anything get anything done? Virtue signaling does nothing.
Please answer the question: How will your legislation idea get things done?
