    So what is your plan exactly? You want to vote for a genocider, giving them the one thing you have in exchange, your one bargaining chip? And then what, write a strongly worded letter? Or are you one of those libs that intends to go back to brunch having “Done your part” in voting for “The lesser evil” who will still genocide the Palestinians? Could you be one of those people who want to “be done with politics” so that it’s “no longer in your face anymore”? You don’t strike me as the “organize my workforce towards collective action centered around Gaza” type.

    When you are making demands, you need leverage. The baseline leverage you have, is your vote. You’ve not leveraged a single thing.

      You can put your vote behind one of them or a trash can. Of the three, which is most likely to be influenced to go the direction you want?

      That’s what voting is for.
