Yeah, not voting for either genocidal scumbag is indeed an action. To frame what's happening in US as the fault of people who refuse to vote for either scumbag is the height of idiocy. No amount of liberal sophistry will change that.
It's the trolley problem with a single track: you can pull the lever and the trolley will run over 5 people before it stops, or you can not pull the lever and the trolley will run over 10 people.
If you're standing beside the lever with your arms crossed refusing to pull it, saying "the fault is on the person who tied the people to the track. Getting involved makes me complacent." Then yes, people are going to blame you because even if you didn't cause the problem there is something very easy you can do to make it less bad.
You can't save all 10, but you can save 5. So you do what you can, and then you also go after the guy who tied the people to the tracks.
Learn how resisting actual repressive regimes works instead of making a clown of yourself here. You're not saving anyone here. Biden is the one doing a genocide as we speak, not Trump. But I suppose racists like you don't even consider Palestinians to be humans, so you won't lose any sleep over that.
"anyone who disagrees with me is a racist!"
Good talk. Engaging with you is definitely worth while...
Nah, it's just people who use a trolley analogy to dismiss an actual genocide they're supporting who are racists. Clearly you place no value on the lives of Palestinians that the party you keep telling people to vote for is massacring. At least have the decency to own up to your beliefs openly little fash.
