    The single-issue voters with deomcrat leanings may end up throwing the election and that is very concerning.

    objectively true. You’re options are:

    • convince single-issue anti-genocide voters that a little bit of genocide is ok if democrats are doing it
    • convince the democratic party that supporting genocide might lose them the election

    for myself I think I know what the more sensible option is.

      The cynic in me says you have no options, I believe there is no expectation that if 45 got re-elected that he would put his foot down and throw the US’s weight around to stop the conflict. I would expect him to make the situation even worse, and with that in mind, I dont think the options are that difficult.

        In all honesty, I mean this as a kindness: what you are describing is complacency. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed by how dark the future looks, but it’s really, really important to avoid standing still.
