    Hooh boy that’'s a lotta text, but I think I more or less get what you’re getting at, so I’m going to have to try real hard not to breach the civility rules here.

    I get that the Gaza genocide is terrible, I get the feeling of powerlessness over it, I really do, I’m feeling it right now, I also get wanting to do something about it, but in regards to this particular election, there was nothing that could be done, especially not by the time Biden dropped. The options in this election were simple: More genocide, or less genocide. There wasn’t a no genocide option, unfortunately. If there was, I have full confidence that option would’ve won. But there wasn’t. Harris was never going to change her stance. So: More genocide or less. If one didn’t vote? More genocide. If one voted third party? More genocide. If, god forbid, one voted for trump? Believe it or not, more genocide. The only way to get less genocide was to vote for Harris. After that is a long and hard road: Running progressive local and eventually state candidates, organizing community awareness events, protests, etc. all with the express purpose of redirecting democrats to the left.
