So they can feel like they've done their civic duty without actually effecting any meaningful change.

Who says I'm doing nothing about it? All you know about it is that I refuse to vote in favor of genocidal regimes. Besides, refusing to vote for someone who's actively committing a genocide is doing something. It's exercising your right to vote in a meaningful way by showing that there are lines you do not cross. I wouldn't vote for Hitler when that was an option, and I won't vote for Harris (or Trump) now.

And also when the democrats win, if you look at the way policy has evolved during the clinton years, during the obama years, and also now during the biden years.

Could you walk me through steering them left when they're in power? Over the years the democrats seem to only get more right wing. The thing is, I always thought that you steer politicians through your vote, and if I guarantee my vote to you regardless of what you have done in the past or are currently doing, what incentive do you have to change course in a way that I like?

What you're doing is called concern trolling. You're like a republican bringing up mental health in a gun control debate. They normally don't give a shit about mental health issues, but as a means to distract from mass shootings it's a great prop.

20,000 children have been murdered by Israel over the past ten months, with weapons gleefully provided by the united states. Israel is a genocidal apartheid ethnostate, and they have been for the past 76 years. The ethnic cleansing they've been carrying out since the nakba is another holocaust, no matter how much you chirp about issues you otherwise wouldn't bring up, you dishonest fucking serpent.
