      You have 2 choices. Both are awful, one, however, is slightly less awful. Politicians are allowed to lie and not deliver on platform promises. Pressing kamala for words right now is meaningless. Protests after she is elected will be a lot easier and effective than a Trump administration.

        Actually you and I have a third choice called not voting for either. You are under no obligation to vote for or support a genocide. You can, in fact, spend your efforts opposing it rather than carrying water for its perpetrators.

        And I am not sure who told you that you have more leverage after elections rather than before, but they have no idea how leverage works or what building power looks like. But really, this is obviously not about strategy or organizing, but about how to justify yet again announcing support for the status quo - genocide edition.

        Please actually oppose genocide instead of making excuses for it.
