you are literally engaging all three of your functionally capable brain cells to make this argument huh.
How do i explain this to you, in a way that you can understand.
So, there are primary effects, secondary effects, tertiary, etc, continues all the way down until you stop caring. An action like, going against 80 years of allyship and historical precedent could net you a 5% larger voter base for example.
Now there’s this funny concept where the secondary effect is that 70% of your voter base is less ok with this, so you might lose 7% of your voter base to another party instead, now you’ve gained a net -2% share of voters!
Oh, but wait. It’s more complicated than this, because the two primary candidates in this case were kamala, and trump, trump who is notoriously problematic in regards to this one issue, and kamala who has repeatedly stated that she wants to at least do something about it. Now if you’re a pro this issue supporter, if you don’t vote for kamala harris, even though her stance is moderate, not terrible, not great, but moderate. You have essentially given a direct boost to the alternate, who in this case is a great negative to the problem at hand.
Congratulations you’ve once again succeeded in making things worse! But now you get to pretend like it wasn’t your fault, wow look at that, isn’t that so cool. Crazy how you can just absolve yourself of all your wrongdoings and problems by pretending they weren’t because of you!
Oh but wait, maybe you voted third party, who would theoretically actually do something to stop this problem. OH WAIT, they’re a russian puppet, and if you voted for them, you’ve completely nullified your entire point by voting for someone who supports something opposed to what you support!
man i sure do love putting 3 minutes of thought into a problem, but you can continue living in schizo dream land where if only you circlejerked harder about whatever, people would’ve totally 100% cared, because trust me, i’m not the issue, it’s literally everybody else around me that’s the issue!

I’ll never vote for someone facilitating a genocide. If those are the only options then this is an evil country that cannot be saved
