The lesser of two evils argument only works if at some point you eventually give the people voting someone to vote for who is not evil. When you are forced to vote for evil after a while you lose hope and say screw this I'm not voting at all.

The most recent Gallup poll says 75% of democrats disapprove of the military action Isreal has taken in Gaza.

The fact that they can pass bills like this but they can't stop funding the Isreali military tells you everything you need to know

It is going to be an absolute bloodbath for the Democrats this November.

In my opinion, given the crime this dude absolutely deserves this. With that being said the problem I have with this is the same I have with the death penalty. What happens when they accidentally or sometimes even intentionally get the wrong person? 4% of people who get sentenced to death are innocent. Even if that number is .4% I'm not okay with occasionally killing someone who is innocent. It's only a matter of time before they sentence someone to have their testicles removed and they find out later oopise they didn't commit the crime.
