    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?

        My “brilliant” answer is that he’s doing the right thing and using the bully pulpit rather than wasting his time on a resolution that will not get voted on.

        But I personally don’t consider approving of what someone is doing brilliance. Your mileage may vary.
