You reap what you sow. Did you protest against the genocide? No. Did you boycott any companies? No. Did you donate to any supporting cause (Jewish voice for peace etc.)? No. Did you contact your elected officials about this? No.

This is intentionally deaf of you. I have protested genocide. I have participated in boycotts and advocated for divestment and sanctions. I have donated to supporting causes. I have contacted my elected officials. I have participated in the uncommitted movement to send a message direct to Biden.

One incredibly tiny portion of my action in support for Palestine will happen to be my vote to the presidential candidate who will commit less violence. Just one tiny piece to save lives.

But you won’t hear that will you? Your mind is totally made up. You’re not here to listen, but to cuss people out.

Do some interrospection. Have a good one.

If my vote doesn't influence the outcome of a genocide then I'm not sure what kind of responsibility a historian would actually place on me.

"Well a president in a democratic system willfully went against the interests of the voters while warning them that the other guy was worse. Biden was simply a victim in all of this and those truly responsible for the downfall of the United States were a handful of voters."

Hard for me to imagine anybody writing that and being taken seriously.
