You're allowing it to happen by choosing it, which is close to the same thing. To follow Godwin's law, nobody cares that people who voted for Nazis did not physically commit atrocities, for example.

And don't think that not voting is a solution. One of the two options will be chosen. I'm aware that the democrats are wrong about Israel, but is it really worth also being wrong about Ukraine and our own country?

I have no power to stop it and am using what little power I have to try to exert pressure to stop it.

I'm not the one firing the guns. I'm not the one giving the guns to the people firing the guns. I'm not the one giving votes to the person giving guns to the people firing the guns.

You are not going to convince me to vote for someone supporting genocide by trying to shift the blame onto me. I know full well that I'm not responsible and that you're only saying that to try to get your preferred pro-genocide candidate elected.

I mean, yeah, because despite him being pro-genocide I still believe he's somehow the best option we have by a surprisingly large margin. We'd have a slightly less enthusiastic genocide, one less invasion, and a much more stable nation.
