I can understand the distinction you’re making and by no means do I think a US citizen somehow bears more responsibility than IDF of their leaders. But at the end of the day actual money and value I spent my labor to create is being used to materially support the artillery of a nation I consider to be engaged in genocide or at least ethnic cleansing and no part of that will ever sit right with me. I understand Trump is worse, I understand this is how the US has treated Palestine since forever, but to me that means there’s no reason for me to pledge and signal that I’m gonna vote Biden no matter what. I want them to know that if they get my vote it will be just barely and something they need to earn every damn election. It’s literally the least I can do while I’m partially funding a genocide. I will stay undecided until the ballots in the damn scanner.

And at the end of the day I don’t even live in a swing state. So even if my little way of protest has no impact, it’s likely because my vote had no impact in the first place. At least my senators know Im pissed at them. Resent the letters I sent when the Sheikh Jara incident happened and said if they had at least tried to hold Israel accountable they wouldn’t be so emboldened to indiscriminately kill.
