But let's humor your point. That is pretty awful, but what the fuck is the alternative? Voting Trump/Vance who will let Israel dial their genocide up to 11; shit they will probably actively encourage it, if there is votes/power or money in it for them.
I barely have the energy to deal with such objections anymore. You're spot on, and it's unsatisfying, but when you're faced with playing a rigged game or losing everything, the best you can do is ante up and plan your escape.
Are you even following the conversation? The alternative for a better vice president off a menu is every peasant in the world who isn't a corrupted authoritarian warmonger. They are not even talking about red vs blue and you bring up the necessity to vote for a party.
I'm gonna humor your point too. Advocating for the expansion of Israel and its proxies as an absolute, fundamental necessity is already dialing the genocide up to 11. Stop with the twisted logic that one choice is necessary because less bad, there's already a disaster going on
