    Seems kind of redundant to have a UN council with over 13 members that can’t do anything if 1 member doesn’t like it. It seems that the other members are ‘united’ so the US should eat sand.

      There should be an override mechanism. It could be super narrow, so like “All non-veto-holding members must unanimously agree to override the veto, and the override must then be sustained by a general assembly vote of 3/4”

    It’s be nice if the leader of America wasnt a genocide enabler, but apparently that’s too much to ask in 2024

    Hopefully in 2028 we get a better option.

    But realistically republicans will keep getting crazier. They might even run trump again, even if he’s in jail.

    Which means people will rationalize even lower standards for Dems. Maybe the DNC will just say fuck it and run Nancy Pelosi.

    Please for the love of God just over ride the US. I live here and I’m getting tired of seeing how my country is hindering things and preventing consequences for people who deserve it. Yes, I know my country has done horrible things throughout its history, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start doing the right thing though. Also yes, I know this is ridiculously optimistic/naive sounding.
