Don’t just vote - go out on the streets and demand that the Dems condemn the genocide and to stop sending military aid to Israel if they actually want your vote!
If you won’t risk having your rights taken away on the grounds of literal genocide - what would you risk them for?
Right, because the alternative somehow isn’t “genocide, but also you lose even more of what little power you still have over this supposed democracy.”
Even if this election doesn’t let us end the genocide, one option is actively threatening to use military force against political dissidents, which tends to make it even harder to push for a change in foreign policy.
But hey they haven’t come for you yet, so you can sleep easy knowing there’s brown people, political dissidents and lgbtq+ folk to be taken away before it’s your turn…
Some of my rights have already been taken away under the current Supreme Court and I’m not willing to risk the rights of myself and others for the sake of some self-righteous quest.
Finally, I respect you for going mask off - you’re not willing to lose your freedom for somebody outside your country - you believe your lives cost more than theirs and doing anything that puts you at risk is not worthwhile.
We can’t completely dismantle the system in a week so what else can we do right now?
Have you tried taking direct action against weapon manufacturers? Going to Harris rallies and calling her out for supporting genocide? Convincing others to take drastic measures instead of just voting for the lesser evil? Those are small things that actually help dismantle the system - voting doesn’t.

“Even if” and “threatening to use military force against political dissidents”? - like how Kamala vowed to unconditionally support the genocide? or Gavin Newsom strategically used violent police force to disband pro-Palestinian encampments but not defend them against counter protestors? - it’s already impossible to push for a change in foreign policy under blue rule - why do you think that will suddenly change when they get another 4 years in office?
