I'm trans. I'm not going to vote for other people's genocide just to maybe protect myself.
But will we be protected? If my red state decides to forcibly detransition me in Biden's second term he wouldn't do shit about it.
You realize that there are two possible outcomes. Biden wins, and the Palestinian Genocide gets worse or Trump wins and the Palestinian Genocide gets much worse. You're voting for it either way, including by refusing to vote at all.
Your claim Trump's genocide will be "much" worse ring hollow, because you must realize Democrats will look at the election results and realize they need to obstruct Trump's genocide or face even more losses in 2026. Democrats will become the resistance again, instead of being complicit collaborators.
There you accepting another candidate or direct action.
Understand I'd rather see Amerika and every single cracker-assed settler that uplifted genociders rendered to ash and driven into the soil they'd spend their blood to defend before I'd ever walk in step with them. If you'd sacrifice Palestine for your own fucking "safety"(read here: comfort, since ever since it came out that liberal think tanks are bankrolling the people behind Project 2025, no one believes anyone's going to a camp), then you are not my fucking ally or comrade; and I will regard you as the opp the collective you has spent the last eight months TELLING ME you are.
