No, I doubt that they're stupid. They don't think that they other guy will be better. However, I also doubt that Sophie Scholl thought that her death alone would stop the Holocaust. Sometimes there's a moral line that you just can't cross.
I wish Harris was coming out more strongly, or at all really, against Israel's genocide. I can't imagine Trump will do anything substantial to reduce the conflict, certainly not more than Harris will.
I do not understand the Sophie Scholl analogy. Sophie distributed anti-war leaflets, among other things. She did not advocate voting for another party that would likely just continue the war, while also removing other freedoms, into power.
The connection that I have in mind is, "doing what's moral, even if it might harm yourself."
I do not understand how supporting Trump will result in a better outcome in Gaza 🤷 If anything, it seems like the opposite is likely.
