to put pressure on the US government with regards to the situation in the Middle East
the only pressure thats gonna put on the situation is negative because if harris loses, the other is gonna double down on them. and since harris is not in a position to do anything due to losing the election, your efforts have just ensured further and faster destruction
The only time pressure can be applied is before they have your vote. Hope this helps!
What, so waiting until December would create more pressure? I can't see how.
When will the pressure be applied? It sure as shit won't be the current election, so you're betting on it still being a thing in 4 years that they can change their mind on?
Calling your representatives changes more opinions than "not voting" or "voting for someone else" in a two party system.
This is putting a "kick me" sign on your own back lmao.
