There is a perspective that the genocide will be the same under both. Maybe a few months ago, but bidens since stopped asking for a cease fire, and has literally sent troops to israel to defend them already.
Its less about voting for trump and more about how increasingly unpalatable its become for some to endorse the current administration. For example in Michigan, a lot of people in the third party movement have family overseas, and its hard to argue to them that they should care more about the theoretical distopia being shouted at them versus the very real one they have been living for a while now.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes for once.
If I didn't care I wouldn't comment. The perspective is materially absurd. Just because you can only change degrees doesn't mean you can morally abdicate your responsibility to do so.
Well unfortunately you don't get to decide what someone else's morals and values are. You seem to be doing a great job empathizing though. I'm sure your rhetoric is bringing voters to the democrats so keep up the good fight. 👍
