Actually you and I have a third choice called not voting for either. You are under no obligation to vote for or support a genocide. You can, in fact, spend your efforts opposing it rather than carrying water for its perpetrators.

And I am not sure who told you that you have more leverage after elections rather than before, but they have no idea how leverage works or what building power looks like. But really, this is obviously not about strategy or organizing, but about how to justify yet again announcing support for the status quo - genocide edition.

Please actually oppose genocide instead of making excuses for it.

Okay man, vote for a third party. Good luck with all that.

You should be against genocide and act accordingly.

You should go to Israel and assassinate Netanyahu. Thanks

Assassinating Netanyahu wouldn’t change anything.

I do not have that power and that would also not be effective. Opposition requires organizing and supporting resistance.
