minus-squarefrauddogg [null/void, undecided]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up41·8 months agoI’d say fence-sitting this vote is even more an indictment than just a “No” vote personally; it doesn’t take a MENSA candidate to tell whether or not funding a genocidal morass of settlers is morally correct
