I understand this urge so deeply, and it really is so much easier sometimes.
That being said, you have the perfect opportunity to separate online life rhetoric from real life rhetoric and make progress for the Palestinian people here.
I think it’s safe to say that MOST liberals who were ok doing the whole “vote for the lesser of two evils” thing are actually not thrilled about the ongoing genocide of Palestinians. To them, it was just an unfortunate situation that they couldn’t worry about when they felt they had issues they could do something about. But that is exactly where you take the win as a principled leftist. You get to come to them with an actual analysis and tell them that not only did voting for “the lesser of two evils” damn the Palestinian people, but in the end it didn’t even protect the things they were hoping it would for exactly that reason.
