    “Their votes alone didn’t swing the election” and “Their actions were the opposite of helpful in preventing genocide” can both be true.

      Can it?

      If their votes didn’t swing the election, how were they harmful? Or whatever you mean by “the opposite of helpful”?

        This is like saying “my vote doesn’t matter, it’s not like the candidate I would have voted for lost by a single vote”

      The people that was the opposite of helping prevent genocide were Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. That is the truth.

            Because I am not so blinded by my own self-centered, egotistical view of moral purity as to throw away my vote on retaining civilian rights.

            Because we live in the real world where we recognize that Trump or Harris were going to be the next president, and Harris’ ambiguity on Gaza and susceptibility to pressure from Democrat voters is, while not ideal, still better than Trump’s open lust for Muslim blood and complete indifference to what pro-palestinian voters want.
