I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

That's not the view the people I'm talking about were voicing. The people I'm talking about were saying Biden/Harris or Trump would be the same for Gaza so they weren't going vote or were voting third party that way magically the blood isn't on their hands. "How is Trump worse for Gaza?" was a common response to calling them out.

This take of vote harris and advocate for her to do better on Gaza is not the take I was seeing and it's not one I have an issue with since it was my view as well. Espousing that view in those threads just resulted in obtuse takes per the above.

ah also fair! I only assumed because i myself have also been accused of being a Russian operative many times

I guess the real "both sides" was all along just the answer to "who here works in a troll farm?" ;P
