supporting genocide now for some vague possibility of fighting against genocdie 4 years from now is an example of cooperating with evil.
If the only thing that you’re doing politically is voting and are only doing it in presidential elections, you are part of what you is into this situation in the first place. Local elections, initiatives, primary elections, non-profits, mutual aid orgs, etc also need attention. Voting in EVERY election is the lowest threshold for actually impacting anything in an electoral system. It’s why the far-Right was able to get nazis into school boards.
False dichotomy and premise there. She was an elected official and party of a party that was subverted by neoliberals who put in the effort to do so. As a part of a party that represents capital and the status quo, she was never going to go against Israel. Withholding votes to “force” her in the general election was not based upon any logical strategy to reduce harms and try to end the beneficial. It was nothing more than a performative action to pretend to have moral high ground while giving implicit support to a Nazi that is now ramping up the genocide in Gaza, the West Bank, and starting new ones in the US with trans erasure from government documents already well underway.
Take your own advice and accept responsibility for doing your part.
