This isn’t about Donald Trump. This is about not being complicit in genocide.

Every decision that you make, including the decision not to act, will have negative consequences. It’s about doing the thing that will have less negative consequences. Not voting will only help Trump win. If Trump wins, he will never leave, he’ll make sure every future election is rigged in his and his family’s favour.

Any decision that ends in genocide is not an acceptable decision.

The decision to not participate will also end in genocide. You merely existing contributes to genocide (you generate pollution that is contributing to climate change, the death of ecosystems, etc).
