that’s why I didn’t want the “glass them all” party to win.

The Democracy are also that party.

they’re not good

Actively genocidal is more than just not good. I should even go so far as to call them "fucking hell".

One side has a chance to be reasoned with, and the other is no chance in hell. Inaction chose the no chance in hell option.

Anthony Blinken and the Democrats are the no chance in hell option. They spent over a year proving it! They would rather lose the election then stop doing genocide. At least Trump is so mercurial and narcissistic that an Arab leader flattering him or an Israeli politician being rude sometimes makes him break from Israel a bit.

But we chose greater violence

No, you didn't. You just chose the one that doesn't bother to mask it.

to engage in harm mitigation otherwise you can end up with harm maximization.

But that doesn't mean much coming from someone who cannot properly assess the harm that the two options are doing. It seems that every "lesser evil" advocate ends up having to white wash the Democrats to justify their position. Apparently even they can't justify voting for the actual Democrats as they really are.
