What's the counterfactual here that results in less Genocide?

Please tell me how voting for neither of the two major parties means more genocide. Both parties are obviously progenocide.

Trump / GOP would be worse. There are republicans publically calling for Gaza to be nuked. Again, Biden is not good but he's better than Trump/GOP on pretty much every measure including Israel/ Palestine

In case anyone was curious:

“When we were faced with destruction as a nation after Pearl Harbor, fighting the Germans and the Japanese, we decided to end the war by the bombing, Hiroshima [and] Nagasaki with nuclear weapons,” (Lindsey) Graham told NBC’s Kristen Welker. “That was the right decision. Give Israel the bombs they need to end the war,” he added. “They can’t afford to lose.”

Also

“We shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid,” Walberg replied. “It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Get it over quick.”

There is no realistic path for a third party candidate to be elected. Period.

If you're still asking this question after 2016, you've had the very simple math explained to you already, you just refuse to accept fault for being addicted to your superiority complex.

You have a very weird way of assigning fault. Just because I vote for someone that you don't think is the correct candidate doesn't make me at fault for potentially Trump winning. How about you blame the DNC instead of third party voters? How about you blame yourself for not changing the DNC enough? See how stupid that sounds?
