Yes I understand this, and I also understand leftists who look at this from other angles. I’d greatly distrust anyone who considers it an easy choice to vote for someone who’s actively making a genocide possible and who’s imprisoning and deporting record numbers of immigrants and refugees. It’s not something to be taken lightly, even if one does arrive at this conclusion.

And I really distrust people’s motives who start barking orders to people about how to respond. If anything, I feel like such tactics only discourage people from voting, and it’s unfortunately common, at least in online spaces.

But I’m not arguing against what you’ve said.
