But that's not up for a vote. What is up for a vote is whether we can continue to protest the genocide or be executed for voicing any opposition. Yes, it's the equivalent of being robbed at gunpoint, but I'm not going to choose to be shot for a sense of moral superiority.

Now's the time to pressure ending the actual genocide and not indulge in weird persecution fantasies.

What's your endgame then? What practical benefit does increasing the chances of a Trump presidency, or more accurately a Vance dictatorship, provide?

I'm not increasing the chances of a Trump presidency, the Harris campaign is. I'm not a democrat, why do you think my vote belongs to them?

In fact, if I have to "vote for democrats" every election to prevent "not being able to vote" again, I don't really have the ability to vote in the first place. It's not as though the democrats give a shit about election reform in any serious capacity. Their game is for you to be stuck in this game.
