The atrocities of the Yemen war are neatly summarized in the Casualties and Losses part of the right-hand sidebar (sorry, there's no link for that). Notice that over 377,000 civilians have been killed and over 4 million have been displaced.
The US is providing money, weapons, logistics, and intel to the Saudi-led coalition. It is a US war in every way except the flag on the uniforms of the troops on the ground.

Thanks I get your point. If you are a US citizen, voting is a way you can influence some of the people making these decisions (I.e. maybe Bernie wouldn’t have funded Saudis like this) so I don’t think people voting is a real influence here
