Also, in b4 fascists start pretending like the Stalinist bootlicker Thalmann hadn’t spent the past half-decade backstabbing and burning bridges with the SPD, which had previously been cooperative with the KPD after the establishment of the Weimar Republic.
If, in a saw-esque limited outcome system, you use your action to better the chances of turbo-genocide-fascist trump, then I have beef with the true motivations of such an “anti genocide protester.”

Good point. You should never compromise or work with anyone who doesn’t share 100% of your goals. /s
Genocide apologia
Yes, you’re right, it is awful how these self-proclaimed leftists play apologist for intensifying the genocide in Gaza and committing genocide on American minorities at home.
You don’t have to justify and validate a genocide in order to vote for Harris. I am in a swing state. I will vote for Harris. But I won’t belittle and disparage anyone who chooses to vote third party or not vote because of the genocide. If she loses because of this adherence to a failed policy, that is on her, not the millions of voters who are deciding based on their perspectives and principles.
“I am just a voter, I have no responsibility for my actions as a citizen in the polity I vote in” is such a compelling line. I wish I had the kind of privilege where I could pretend that decisions of the polity were as inconsequential as voting for my favorite color instead of something the lives of millions ride on.
I’m sure Ryan Wesley Routh agrees with you.
Yes, as we all know, one of the unique rights granted by citizenship in a polity is [checks notes] extralegal assassination.
