    No.

    I’m going to not support the genocide and I’m going to accomplish this by not voting for the parties and candidates supporting it directly.

    I’m not going to make a utility calculation. I’m not going to try to participate less in the probabilistic social apparatus.

    I’m going to vote for a party and candidate that didn’t do a genocide and isn’t going to do a genocide.

        I’m afraid you’re confused. Not voting for the candidate literally doing genocide is the right thing.

        You know, because it’s right to not support genocide.

          Biden isn’t doing a genocide. He’s indirectly making it easier by supplying weapons to the people who are, but is also threatening to withhold them if they continue. It’d be best if you think about the situation instead of blindly criticizing the admittedly bad president.

          There’s a lot to criticize Biden for. Part of that is him not doing enough to prevent genocide, but if that’s the same as literally doing genocide, then by telling people it’s wrong to vote for him you are also committing genocide, because you are actively fighting against people trying to mitigate 3 genocides, including the one you’re upset about.
