Not voting isn’t going to stop the genocide in Gaza.
maybe it will stop the next one though
if democrats learn that allowing a genocide to unfold on their watch is going to lose them elections, you can bet they'll put more effort into stopping it
if democrats learn that allowing genocide to unfold on their watch actually doesn't make that much difference, why would they bother themselves to stop it?
A vote is not an unconditional endorsement
a vote for a candidate is an endorsement for all of their policies, whether you want it to be or not
your reluctant vote looks exactly the same on the tally as somebody else's wholehearted vote, and votes are what politicians base their platforms on.
If you vote third party you might as well stay home.
this is just a misconception
if the democrats lose a million votes to a third party, then yeah, they're going to modify their policies next time around
vote for the person you like the most
voting for the democrats come hell or high water is how you end up with two candidates nobody wants to vote for
