Yeah, I kinda figured this was where you were heading. You're either very misguided or a troll. I wanted to give you an opportunity to explain your stance without devolving into name calling or insults, but at every moment you could have explained yourself, you dodged every question. You had me read a paper that I read in good faith in hopes that it would explain your point of view, because for some reason you aren't willing to. However, the paper, while adjacent to the issue, didn't actually condone your decision at all, nor condemn mine. I honestly can't even tell if you yourself know what was written in that paper. It feels like I'm talking to someone who is parroting an opinion, not forming one for themselves.

I get that it's a hard pill to swallow, but from all ways I can find to look at it, your not voting directly supported genocide, worse than if you voted left. I get that you need to tell yourself that you are obstained from that guilt in order to sleep at night, but it doesn't change the impact of your actions.

At this point, considering your inability to engage in a proper discussion, I'm no longer writing for you but others who may want to continue this discussion. I really want to understand the reasons why people didn't vote, as I haven't heard a good explanation for it.

Let's be clear here, I am not a liberal. I didn't like any candidates from either side. I hate both sides of this system and want to see it dismantled. However, I can also see that, because I live in America and am eligible to vote, I have been forced into participating in a broken system, whether I want to or not. I don't happily claim that I voted for genocide as you appear to believe, I'm just not blind to the fact that there is no way to not vote for genocide in this system. Not voting is still an action within the system, as it directly results in a boost in favor of whatever party that opposes the party you would have voted for.
