Voting is the minimum. The reason there's no decent alternative is because people vote and think they did their part.

If you're voting for the lesser of two evils and that lesser is actively supporting genocide, but you're complaining about people that are saying 'both sides bad'...

'If you're curious what you would do to stand up against genocide, you're doing it now' - a braver man than me

I assume you're talking about the US and the reason the US is always voting between the lesser of two evils is because it's a FPTP voting system as well as a lot of convoluted old systems that need to be updated. The ability to throw your vote away is a failure of a democratic system and why the US is an oligarchy because the people you can vote for are determined for you and not selected by you.
