and no matter who was in charge, the US will continue it's legacy of genocide worldwide.

Soo...what was not voting for the less-genocidey candidate supposed to accomplish?

Can you tell me what my vote for Harris did? I got to vote for "less genocide" and get "more genocide". Clearly, it was very important for Harris to keep out Palestinian- and Arab-Americans in swing states and bring in Republicans. Can you help me understand how that was supposed to win the most important election of all time where Republicans are planning on genociding everyone not them?

At least you tried, if you really did vote for Harris. That's more than most vocal "anti-genocide" types did to prevent this.

I'm sure that will be of great comfort to me watching the Democratic party continue to capitulate to the Right over the next four years.

More comforting that actively participating in it.

I'll be sure to remember that when, in the spirit of bipartisanship, Democrats vote to remove my husband's access to HRT or revoke my cousins' citizenship because one of their parents was an Arab immigrant.

Whats your point? You would have felt better doing nothing at all? Guess we should all just sit down and give up because we got fucked over.
