Yeah so genocide is bad but...
The American electoral system just doesn't work that way. That is a steaming shit sandwich, but... sitting out the election or voting 3rd party because you're pissed (rightfully so) is like headbutting a goat. It hurts you more than it hurts the goat and the goat doesn't care or change it's behavior. The goat in this case is 100% the collective body of American Democratic voters and the assholes who run the DNC. They will NOT care. They will learn all the wrong lessons. They are old and out of touch and they pull to the right every time they lose.
It works the other way around too! Voting is trying to drag the goat by her lead and she doesn't care or change her behavior that way either.
Every cycle the DNC moves 5 steps right, but they're the lesser evil so they move 5 more steps right. Everyone keeps rewarding them for marching rightward than shocked Pikachu that they won't do anything about anything.
Of course nobody blames the dems for not listening, or even Republicans for yknow the christofascism - It's always the lefts fault. Pay the lip service to Trump than it's diatribe after diatribe about how leftists who get told to eat shit constantly for SOME REASON don't like the mid right milquetoast genocider they put up.
