Kinda funny since (if I recall correctly) slavery was always forbidden in Argentina.

We know republicans are in favor of slavery, but they voted against that bill because Isreal told that orange shit stain to do it.

The US voted against reparations, not against condemning slavery.

I mean, what's to sink in? I'm an American - it would *surprise* me if my ass hat leaders did *anything* that was right or decent or kind

haven't looked into this one specifically honestly. And I see in the picture that European countries didn't vote (or what else does the X mean?), so there's clearly more to this.
But other than that, whenever someone is suprised by something like this, it would make sense to read up on how the US interacts with the UN. They reject most declarations, including programs to end world hunger. And Israel mostly votes whatever the US votes.

It means they abstained, which is different from not voting as it can maintain a quorum. In some rule sets (though not most, and not in the un) it essentially counts as a no (though again, not in this case).

Thanks.
