I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

why they’re ok with their candidate enabling genocide

I don't think this is a fair analysis of any real person's position.

May not be their mentality, but that is the reality when you show more contempt for those mad about said genocide enabling than for the figure you're advocating for despite them enabling genocide

That's a real comfort to all the genocide victims

It certainly isn't. Victims of genocide are unaffected by any individual's mindset. I fully agree with your position; I'm simply advocating for an exploration of that mindset to inform better future choices.
