What are we going to change our vote to? Only two parties can win this year (let's change that) and the other option is worse on this issue.

I'll vote for someone who is vocally and demonstrably anti-genocide. If that's neither of the main parties' candidates that's their problem.

I will not vote for genocide.

Not voting is a choice. Not voting is saying you're okay with either option. You're OK with fascism because you can't bear to have neoliberalism instead. Maybe you'd rather have genocide of both Arabs and Latin Americans? Maybe you'd rather have a president who has promised to make the genocide worse than one who might put some amount of pressure to make it less bad.

I'd rather have a president who's anti-genocide, so I'll be voting for one of the anti-genocide candidates.

You're okay with voting for genocide. I'm not.
