Ok, so let's assume there is no change in the US stance on Gaza. You and anyone you've convinced, don't vote. Trump supporters are unaffected. Trump is now president. Then what? Have you made the world a better place?

Standing up to Genocide is a game of chicken. It means potentially losing if the total amount of chickens is too big.

If enough voters grow a spine however the Democrats have no option but conceding or face certain loss.
