I think I lost brain cells reading this post.
The fact that there is even a debate as to Justin Amashs' purity is ridiculous. That people are questioning his actions and saying they won't donate to him is absurd.
This is the exact mentality of the movement that has lead to minimal gains. If you're looking for people who exactly mimic all of your opinions and thoughts, run for office yourself.
Amash has consistently been the strongest voice on both the Congressional and national stage for our thoughts and ideas. This is a nonbinding resolution. It does nothing.
By voting for it, it doesn't mean he agrees with everything in the bill. Do you guys understand how many bills are passed through Congress with random little things in it? Should a bill be voted against if you disagree with 1% of it?
This bill does nothing. He is expressing that he feels its wrong for Russia to invade Ukraine. He hasn't come out and said the US should go invade Russia.
I honestly find it disheartening that so many of you are so critical of one of the only people in Congress who supports the libertarian ideas.
It's not like Massie is perfect. He's had his flaws. Get over them.
I rarely even come on here anymore, even to read posts, just because of the constant negative attitude of everyone here. The only reason I find myself posting anymore is to defend attacks on people like Amash, or Rand or Lee, who are the biggest supporters of our ideals, but find themselves consistently bombarded here with negativity, not to mention in the media or by establishment and democrats.
If Amash can't receive support here, where can he get it?
Rarely is a vote by someone praised. Rarely does anyone point out the hundreds of good votes that Amash has made. Only the one bad vote.
The fact that someone else, perhaps Bentivolio for instance, may align with us on far more issues than someone like McCain is absolutely useless to the people here, as he doesn't align with us on every single one.
