Agreed. Though I worry that'll take pressure off the cantankerous legislators that are blocking true support for Ukraine.

How did US politics get to a point where Russia is tacitly if not explicitly being supported by half of the electorate? And all because of an ๐ŸŠ with an IQ to match?

:(

Worry all you like. Kicker is a lot of people have been screaming at Biden/his administration to send aid to Ukraine again. I am definitely not his #1 fan, though he's trying and that should be recognized more often, despite his faults.

That is basically the steady-state outcome in a first-pass-the-post election system. What more would one expect?

Until our election system can better reflect the population it serves, the only real choice one will ever have is "which of these two do I dislike least?"
