There’s a difference between voting for an ideal candidate and not being able to vote for one materially supporting a genocide. “not funding genocide” isn’t an ideal, it’s a bare minimum. If not funding genocide is ‘idealistic’ to you, then I want no part of anything you’re trying to sell and normalize.
Who’s trying to restrain the genocide? Last I checked Biden says nice things then does nothing but send more weapons?
Doesn’t matter, that option is not one of the two choices.
This is the cause of voter apathy btw, when you tell people there’s no way to stop genocide, they’re not going to feel like they can effect change. And when voter apathy sets in democrats lose. Democrats know this, yet pursue political avenues that foster voter apathy. I live in a blue state, nothing I can do will save the Democrats from themselves.
Right, I’m just trying to head off the ridiculous idea that some people have that in the US we can vote for our ideal candidate.

It’s “try to restrain the genocide” or “make genocide worse”. Pick one. And if you say they’re equally bad, you’re an idiot.

You want Democrats to singlehandedly change the First Past the Post voting system?
