You're actively supporting genocide.

It's very obvious to absolutely everyone that allowing Trump to win will produce the worst possible outcome for palestinians.

I honestly feel sorry for you. I think there's a strong possibility your own kids and grandkids will be asking you about this time in history, and I suspect you're going to realise in future how silly this "do x or I won't vote for you" position is.

By virtue of birthplace, we are all supporting it. The only control I have in this situation is to not actively support the people who are saying they will give support to a genocidal regime. Also saying "Don't commit genocide or I won't vote for you" really should not be the controversial take that it's become.

The only control I have in this situation is stand by and implicitly support/not oppose the people who are saying they will genocide even harder abroad and bring the genocide home so I can keep my moral high ground.
