    The people who didn’t vote because of the genocide agree with you that it is an endorsement, which is why they didn’t vote. Voting is not an endorsement, it’s a strategic choice and calling it otherwise overplays it’s significance and divides us.

        And all the Palestinian that didn’t vote endorsed Hamas and their own genocide. This “logic” is about being right but not about what is good. It’s a great example a moral high horse the Democrats are happy to ride in on because it costs them nothing, unlike opposing a genocide. This creates moral ambiguity which the right exploits to win elections.

          Reality is morally ambiguous, and pretending it’s black and white allows the right to win elections they would otherwise lose.

            Genocide is morally ambiguous for many people, but for the people who don’t vote Republican it is overwhelmingly not ambiguous. You can blame the voters, but that’s just another way of blaming reality.

              I mean, I. Do kinda blame voters that put maniacs I to power, but it is, as you say, reality.
