If you vote for a genocider, you vote for genocide. You shouldn't do that. It's wrong to support and normalize genocide.

I would love to vote for no genocide, but once again, even more genocide is not only on the ballot, but has taken the lead in the last few days. Meanwhile the no genocide candidate on offer here couldn't manage to get on the ballot in enough places to to win and couldn't be arsed to follow the rules in the places they did bother. So forgive me if I choose to live in reality and do the only thing I can that might actually stop the even more genocide guy.

Then don't vote for a genocide candidate. Easy. Done.

Lots of things are easy when you refuse to acknowledge the consequences of your actions. Enjoy the sand in your ears.

You said you'd love to do something as if it's difficult when it is actually trivially easy.

You should be against genocide and not vote for genocide candidates. You seem to disagree. So, tell me. Tell me, "I will vote for a genocide candidate and normalize genocide". Acknowledge your compliciy before making your excuses.
