I'm sure the guy who chopped his arm off (or whatever it was) when he was hiking and it got trapped didn't want to do so, but sometimes we have to make choices we don't like. You're choosing to let trans people, people of color, immigrants, Palestinians, and a whole lot of other people get fucked by Republicans because you can't do a little dirty work.
I hope you don't have a pet, because you sometimes have to clean up shit. It sucks and no one likes doing it, but sometimes we have to choose to do things like that so other people don't have to suffer the consequences of if we decide to take the easy route and pretend it didn't exist.
A “little dirty work” you say of voting for a genocider.
FTFY
You could vote for Cornel West, who does zero genocide.
Yeah can also vote for Santa Clause. He also doesn't do any genocide as far as I'm aware, and probably has a better chance of being elected.
Vote for progressive people for local office. You don't get a choice in the US presidential election except for the top two currently. Cornel West has zero chance of winning, so it has the exact same result as not voting. It's just a way to try to make yourself feel better while other people get hurt.
Mostly because people like yourself keep telling everyone that they have to vote for one of the two major parties.
If people voted their conscience, I bet he’d have a decent chance.
He’s not eligible to be president, because he was born in Anatolia, and he’s been dead for 1700 years.

He would not. I'd bet if you ask the vast majority of voters they wouldn't even recognize his name, let alone know what his position on different topics is.
Also, you can write in anyone. Even with the issue of eligibility, it's probably still more likely he wins, and there are multiple natural born American ones. https://www.tampabay.com/life-culture/2021/12/21/who-are-americas-real-santa-clauses/
