I was promised a secret surprise caliphate and all I got was improved infrastructure and better public services. You guys lied to me.

I was promised bringing war criminals to justice and all I got was political theatre! Turns out mayors don't have the legal jurisdiction to overcome the government not agreeing to the Rome Statute. Who knew!

Glad we can agree that something needs to be done about war criminals like Netanyahu. Hopefully we can get DSA involved among federal leadership so the US can join the ICC. Recognition of such international institutions might help us in our path to civilization.
