I don't know what to say to this post. I think you misread me.
Nope, it's been pretty clear to the rest of us.

I'm not letting the puppy appeal sway my decision one way or another
So conservative VP's gunning down healthy dogs isn't a reason to vote against them. Got it.

If you're pitting quality of human life against quality of human life, I'm sorry, but I can't treat the children of Palestine as sacrificial lambs to protect people in America.
Let's do some math here, shall we?
Biden - Can be talked out of Gaza with continuous pressures. And shows signs of change, given the whole "You're on your own against Iran" thing.
Trump - Will build a parking lot over Palestinians blood and guts.
Now which one do you think will be better for Gaza, huh? Really think about it.
Also, let's not even mention that Gaza
isn't the only single issue.
Can we not talk about the student loan erasure? Infrastructure? Greener energy? All of that is still not enough?
You may have convinced yourself that you care about Palestine, but you won't convince anyone else when you're complacent in a fascist takeover. I don't swallow that "I care about Gaza" crap when you won't do the bare minimum to prevent this happening domestically.
Whatever is going to happen is going to happen and my vote isn't going to change that. If we're facing fascism, they're not going to walk away because they lose a vote anyway. They've tried to overturn democracy once already and, as a party, they've grown bolder in the years since.
How do you think they overturned Roe V Wade? They did it by installing Trump's yuppies into positions of power. That's literally how it begins. Eventually, in the conservative hopeful Project 2025, his yes men will be everywhere and Trump will be able to "legally" become a dictator.
But hey if 1/6 doesn't bother you "because they'll just try again" then maybe consider leaving the country because you're not helpful to anyone here.
Grown adults that don't have a smidge of pragmatism in their whole bodies should not be coddled or "appealed to". Either you do the right thing, or you do the wrong thing. Inaction is a choice.
