Well, if I were a betting woman, I'd say your name isn't going to be remembered at all, so you can probably safely stop using that as an excuse for apathy.
Great! Yours will be remembered for generations as the lady who voted for the genocide of brown kids across the world :)
Whereas you enabled the genocide of even more kids all across the world, as well as minorities here at home. How moral.
Assuming the American political project lasts 30 more years, when you're voting for the candidate who argues for 5 genocides instead of 10, it will hopefully start to become very clear the leftist position that liberals will always eventually fall in line with fascism.
Leaving aside the fact that you seem to think historians will care about individual voters, this election is, unfortunately, about more than Israel. It's also about LGBTQ+ people, women, the environment, Ukraine, and not having a rapist thief who has admitted to ambitions of dictatorship in office. So if voting makes you complicit in every single thing a politician does, then sitting idly by and not caring if Trump wins would put a lot of blood on your hands, in the US and abroad, including in Gaza. Your smug superiority does nothing to protect those people and may harm a lot of others.
