When the American Empire implodes (hopefully soon) and a thousand years pass and an enlightened civilization is looking back on us with all your "nuance" weathered down, I don't want my name to be thrown on a list of people who voted for genocide. No democracy worth saving would've ever had its most important vote of our lifetimes ever for the fate of the world come down to Vanilla or Orange Sherbet flavored fascism. We are at the logical end of the American Experiment.
Well, if I were a betting woman, I'd say your name isn't going to be remembered at all, so you can probably safely stop using that as an excuse for apathy.
Great! Yours will be remembered for generations as the lady who voted for the genocide of brown kids across the world :)
Leaving aside the fact that you seem to think historians will care about individual voters, this election is, unfortunately, about more than Israel. It's also about LGBTQ+ people, women, the environment, Ukraine, and not having a rapist thief who has admitted to ambitions of dictatorship in office. So if voting makes you complicit in every single thing a politician does, then sitting idly by and not caring if Trump wins would put a lot of blood on your hands, in the US and abroad, including in Gaza. Your smug superiority does nothing to protect those people and may harm a lot of others.
