If an issue isn't on the ballot you can't vote on it.
Vote for your perfect ideals in the primaries. Vote for the better of the 2 options in the general.
The problem is if someone is willing to support genocide, it's not actually possible to perform a fair "lesser of two evils" analysis. There's literally nothing worse than genocide. If you're willing to support that for power, there's nothing you won't support, no promise you won't go back on, no group of constituents you won't betray. How many trans people voted for AIPAC democrats on the "lesser of two evils" approach, just to watch those same assholes turn around and start talking about "keeping men out of women's sports" the moment it became politically popular?
In order to judge the lesser evil, you need to actually be able to judge the beliefs of a candidate. But these people don't actually believe in anything. They don't really support anything. They're just chasing polls and donor dollars to win power. You can't perform a lesser of evils analysis against a shapeshifter.
It is one thing to vote for imperfect candidate it is another to support literal genocidal terroristic candidates . Never vote for war criminals never
