But it doesn’t change the fact that I am voting for the outcome I want that is reasonably available to me based on the options.
I think it’s disingenuous for the green party to say that a vote for them is a vote to stop the genocide. There is literally no scenario where the genocide stops if Jill Stein gets 4% of the vote. All it does is increase the chances of another trump presidency. And while I would rather have green party politics, I am under no illusion that they have the faintest chance of actually getting them in place.
I also understand some Palestinians voting down-ballot and ignoring the Presidential race after having lost friends and family to the foreign policy of both candidates. I couldn’t imagine the pain of voting for your (or your family’s) oppressors or their enablers.
A lot of people have reached that point and checked out. Kamala could do a lot of things to get people back on board though.

I understand your position. I’m going to keep withholding my vote in the hope there are enough of us to make Kamala earn it back with policy.
