Everything about Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress yesterday was grotesque. But it will at least provide a historical document that clearly identifies which American elected officials were enthusiastic backers of genocide.
Given the current electoral system it isn’t a myth - it’s how we ended up with Woodrow Wilson after all.
I’d love to see us break out of it too but the voting system needs to change before we can seriously consider a third party option.
America was basically the alpha release of Democracy and it has an absolutely broken electoral system - ideally the president wouldn’t even be elected and we’d only have one branch of congress but we’re working within the boundaries of what we have and if you choose to help get Trump elected that’s fucking on you.

US was the beta system at best, based on Greek/Roman democracy including the slavery!
