You are asking me to support someone I disagree with on a fundamental level.

Yeah, welcome to not being part of the majority in a democratic polity. It sucks.

You guys can fight over which genocidal maniac runs the country.

Okay, by not taking a side, you take the side of the victor. If the victor is the genocidal maniac who, instead of expressing hesitance about Israel's genocide, has expressed an eagerness for Israel's genocide to intensify, and to start NUMEROUS genocides here at home, against both racial minorities and GSM, you can rejoice in knowing that you contributed in your own way to his expanded genocide, both in Israel/Palestine and in the US. Not to mention all the other countries he'll 'inspire'. I'm sure Ukraine will be thrilled to have even more of their children kidnapped and tortured, or a suffering a few hundred more Buchas.

I will keep working on supporting people from the bottom up who disagree with sending bombs to kill toddlers.

Great, and the guy who's going to make it harder for you to support people 'from the bottom up' instead of the 'guy who doesn't care what happens as long as things keep chugging'? It's cool if he's in place? You don't mind a stint in the pen for being a filthy lib, or getting sent to the camps with the rest of us?
