The way you're approaching genocide is very "nothing is all." Look at her voting record. Expressing vocally and actually voting are different subjects.

We should say, "thanks Lizzy for speaking up, we appreciate you and we would ask you to support an arms embargo so that our tax money doesn't go towards killing innocent children".

Why? It's not bad to speak up, but if nothing is materially changing, it's nothing but vibes.

This is exactly what the more effective anti-genocide activists are doing.

Wrong. The more effective anti-genocide activists are Palestine Action, and they are directly sabotaging the tools used to facilitate genocide, not standing and clapping for someone who has voted for genocide for decades.
