The article would be better if it linked to the reasons for the no votes and critiqued them. Otherwise, it’s just low effort outrage bait.

It’s not bothsidesing if you take a position. It’s steelmanning.

There will always be nitpicks whenever the resolution is not completely meaningless and devoid of any actionable steps. If the vote was started again just stating that nations are generally against starvation, then I’m sure the US would vote yes.
But maybe not!
