But it's not how it works right now and they need to deal with the system as it is now until it doesn't work this way anymore. Voting against it wouldn't change the system in place.

Should've voted no then. Would likely stop the genocide in a few weeks/months if the US government stops functioning and can't maintain its colony in Palestine anymore. It would also give the working class an opportunity for revolution to establish a system that doesn't require genocide to function.

But of course, liberal "democracies" and the two-party system just represent the interests of the capitalist class. Just wish liberals and conservatives would acknowledge that and stop defending the two parties, and spend that time and effort organizing against it.

I imagine "civilians" in nazi Germany said similar things.

Yeah, voting no to the budget and shutting down the government would have lead to a revolution this time, I swear guys!

What? How come it didn't lead to one when Trump was in power?

Eh...

Simple majority can change it, and historically there have been plenty of options for democrats to do such a thing, but they never seem to want to put provisions in place to help people for some reasons.
