I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

Which party supports genocide in Palestine and continuously providing weapons around the world?

Which party is incapable of recognizing the relationship between all of our military spending, and worsening conditions at home?

Which party wants to continue acting like the world oceans are theirs and no one else has any right to control over them?

Which party is willing to use force to enforce the view above?
