    It’s a trolley problem, except we are currently running over thousands of people, and we are still months away from the switch. There’s a guy in power right now, who could stop this, and he needs our votes to win the election. I want more pressure on him before the election, since all leverage is lost afterwards. You want to assure him of our votes, which means he has zero political reason to stop abetting genocide. Don’t you see how by saying “blue no matter who” you are stabbing everyone in the back who is trying to halt this genocide? We know Biden doesn’t mind murdering children, so our only hope is that he actually wants to win the election. In order to leverage that power though, he needs to realize that voters aren’t guaranteed to show up for him.
