Shit like that is also a far, far better use of airspace/resources
Well gee, that sure does give Isreal the right to do ethnic cleansing. It's self defense after all so everything is permissible. /s
No, just the government. If no new spending bill passes it will be pretty not great.
The two party system is the natural result of FPTP voting. We desperately need to switch to STAR or approval.
Gotta love a bribery based legislature system.
Where exactly has Israel done this recently?
They've been doing it for decades.
As for the more recent:

Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, and religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous. Along with direct removal, extermination, deportation or population transfer, it also includes indirect methods aimed at forced migration by coercing the victim group to flee and preventing its return, such as murder, rape, and property destruction.[3][4][5] It constitutes a crime against humanity and may also fall under the Genocide Convention, even as ethnic cleansing has no legal definition under international criminal law

Attacking someone across your border because they’re killing people near yours is war.
Civilians are getting killed and forced out of their homes, all based on race. It's an apartheid, and an ethnic cleansing.
Defense does not necessitate apartheid or ethnic cleansing.
And then we would deny them their WIC, SNAP, and end the child tax credit to ensure they stay in poverty, and systematically defund public education.
And then when the poverty rate mysteriously jumps, which mysteriously causes crime rates to jump, we can just blame democrats.
Conservatism can't exist in the face of criticism, it requires an echo chamber.
This is the kind of shit people talk about when people say the GOP supports white supremacy.
Leaving them on the streets is also more expensive than housing them.
When they're on the streets, it means the government must pay for emergency services, extra sanitation work, police are called more frequently, etc.
How many dead people have been found voting for people? How many ballots in trunks of peoples cars last couple years?
These are election security issues, none of which are unique to a popular vote. They can happen and have happened under our electoral collage. So this is a moot point.
and populous states and cities controlling everything while completely taking a voice from the rest of the country
That's not how it works. All votes are counted equal regardless of who they are or where they are from under a popular vote. Neither cities or land votes, only people do and the system should reflect that.
The rest of the country would actually get a say under a popular vote unlike with the electoral college. Most people don't live in a city in a swing state, which is the only place politicians cater to.
Given that the popular has only been overridden twice in two decades, it’s hardly a bitching point.
That's not the point though. The point is that all votes should be counted equally.
And if you live in a state that is solidly blue/red then your vote is essentially meaningless. Nobody should get a bigger voice from living in a swing state, it should be everyone's voice.

They are just greedy. They have the money, but giving the money to the rich is evidently more important.
