    Anyone who didn’t vote has endorsed everything that the government is doing right now, regardless of the election outcome. If the Dems had won, they would have endorsed the Dems’ actions. Since the Reps won, they’ve endorsed the Reps’ actions.

      The people who didn’t vote because of the genocide agree with you that it is an endorsement, which is why they didn’t vote. Voting is not an endorsement, it’s a strategic choice and calling it otherwise overplays it’s significance and divides us.

          And all the Palestinian that didn’t vote endorsed Hamas and their own genocide. This “logic” is about being right but not about what is good. It’s a great example a moral high horse the Democrats are happy to ride in on because it costs them nothing, unlike opposing a genocide. This creates moral ambiguity which the right exploits to win elections.

            Reality is morally ambiguous, and pretending it’s black and white allows the right to win elections they would otherwise lose.
