The single-issue voters with deomcrat leanings may end up throwing the election and that is very concerning.

objectively true. You're options are:

  • convince single-issue anti-genocide voters that a little bit of genocide is ok if democrats are doing it
  • convince the democratic party that supporting genocide might lose them the election

for myself I think I know what the more sensible option is.

The cynic in me says you have no options, I believe there is no expectation that if 45 got re-elected that he would put his foot down and throw the US's weight around to stop the conflict. I would expect him to make the situation even worse, and with that in mind, I dont think the options are that difficult.

In all honesty, I mean this as a kindness: what you are describing is complacency. It's ok to feel overwhelmed by how dark the future looks, but it's really, really important to avoid standing still.

You don't have to be silly and post memes like me. Join an organization. Any one. Make friends who share your concerns and demonstrate.
