    So you have three options, all having a bad outcome on the most important thing you care about.

    One of the options maybe has better outcomes on some other things you care about.

    Another option has bad outcomes in almost everything you care about, plus maybe even a worse outcome to your most important thing.

    The third option is to leave it up everyone else to pick between the first two.

    I know what I’d pick, what will you do?

      You’re absolutely ignoring their comment. If democrat voters showed a spine and conditioned their vote to an end to the genocide, the democrat leadership may decide that it’s worth it to cater to these voters to win the elections if that’s what they want. By enabling all their actions through “vote blue no matter who” you’re just degrading the democracy further, and postponing the choice 4 more years during which nothing will happen.

          “let’s blame voters for wanting to vote against genocide instead of blaming the party which is committing genocide and openly speaking of having the most LETHAL army in the world”

      The only two real options are both pro genocide, pro military industrial complex which tells me this country is fucked there’s nothing I can do to help that. All I can do is follow my conscience and my conscience won’t let me rest if I vote for genocide
