Dress it how you want, a vote for genocide is a vote for genocide.

An accurate picture here would have several hundred thousand Palestinians on both sides of the track. Not to mention it would still have trans people and immigrants on both sides of the track because both of those groups saw attacks on their rights under the Biden administration.

To make it abstract and intellectual like redditors like it: when the trolley problem has 3 people on the tracks and 1 on the other it seems like a no-brainer, but do you really think the same logic applies when there's 500 people on one side and 498 on the other?

Also keep in mind, the actual political system is more complex that one election. If a candidate is completely blown out the party will know it has to switch its platform for the next election. If a candidate gets a decent number of votes then it doesn't switch its platform. If you voted for Kamala Harris in 2024 you effectively let the Democrats know that genocide is negotiable and you are willing to let it slide. If you held your vote you exerted a bit of pressure for Democrats to stop supporting genocide.

I have no doubt that many people died in German concentration camps making very similar claims about how to reinvigorate the opposition to the Nazis and what would happen after the next election. Hopefully your pontificating turns out differently than theirs did.

Oh I guess Dr German History decided to show up and teach us all a lesson about how voting against Hitler would have stopped Hitler. Because Hitler definitely got into power because he won a democratic election, right?

That is quite literally what happened, yes

There are some misconceptions about how Hitler came to power. It is important to understand that:

Hitler did not seize power in a coup; and Hitler was not directly elected to power.

Rather, Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power through Germany’s legal political processes. According to the 1919 German constitution, the position of chancellor was appointed by the president.

Guess Germans should've voted harder then. Oh wait, there was a Communist Party who attempted a revolution before Hitler came to power and they failed because the Freikorps killed them? Well I wonder who started the Freikorps...
