I really wonder what took these 3 persons so long to sign this petition.
Doesn't bode well about the several other who STILL didn't sign it. Especially the 24 missing ones.

@mariedocet @noelreports the rest are pretty anti war ultra lefties and regularly vote against even our defense spending. We need to push on the GOP hawks that are still holding out.

@darwinwoodka @mariedocet @noelreports
It's harmful to larger picture for people to push for the remaining Democratic holdouts to sign the petition until there are enough Republican signatures for there to be a need for theirs.

Their reelections are what matter the most and all elections are local.

@GreenFire @mariedocet @noelreports yeah well the problem is Ukraine needs aid six months ago. The fucking GOP is causing an international crisis because they're all in Putin's pocket the fuckers.
