An Illinois state judge on Wednesday barred Donald Trump from appearing on the Illinois’ Republican presidential primary ballot because of his role in the attack at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but she delayed her ruling from taking effect in light of an expected appeal by the former U.S president.

        They don’t care. They just don’t want to be an accomplice by voting for Joe Biden.

        They’re fine if their inaction leads to Trump winning and fucking up Palestine even more.

        At least their ‘conscience’ will be clear.

          I’m baffled as to how people can knowingly make things worse and feel good about because what they did was “right”. The whole idea that an action can be right despite making things worse for everyone is completely alien to me, but I know that’s literally how some people think.

            Welcome to America, where virtue signaling while making things worse has been refined into an art form.

            I’ve literally been told that “not choosing either is the morally correct thing” as if consequences should be thrown out the window.

          If they are voting in the primary, I doubt they will skip the general election. It’s more than likely a reminder to the administration that their voter base is not happy with the current decision making. If they are protesting stuff like this, they are most likely D voters anyway (over 90 % of D voters are pro-ceasefire vs 53? % for the R voterbase.

      Yeah I’m having a very hard time feeling any comfort with that concept strongly looming.
