It's been asked a million times and I've seen no response: what should these people who care about stopping a genocide do instead. They're not even saying they refuse to vote or vote for Biden, they're simply practicing politics by saying their votes are contingent. The same thing that millions of suburban voters, independents, moderates, and centrists do all the time. But when it's over a genocide, people reject literally every option that might even possibly have the required influence.
I'm forced to conclude that people simply want those who think a genocide is happening to swallow their tongues and vote Biden without fail. That often seems to be the answer people have towards the left, towards the young, towards anyone who doesn't see establishment Democrats as the epitome of politics done right. Just shut up and give us your support and be happy it isn't worse, don't advocate for anything different, don't make any arguments that make us uncomfortable, don't use anything other than approved tactics, don't do anything to rock the boat.
Brother, I'm telling you, you and the 5-6 other people in this topic that are trying to explain this logic will never make the others understand it. I've tried, I've seen you try, I've seen others try over the past couple months, and they will never fucking understand it.
It's sad actually.
