First off, the only one asking for fealty is the republicans.

Incorrect. Democrats have been the only ones demanding my vote. Republicans don’t bother trying to convince a “commie queer” like myself.

Second, trump already said “finish the job” so obviously he’s not in favor of a cease fire.

Likewise, the Democrats who pretend to support a ceasefire but keep authorizing weapons shipments anyway.

Now we’re right back to voting against your own interests. A not vote for Kamala is a vote for Trump(in a tight race like this)…. who supports the genocide fully… “finish the job”

There’s those demands for fealty again.

How are you going to not be ignored?

Like this. You’re failing to ignore me right now.

“If these people won’t do exactly I want then I’m going to make sure I get exactly what I don’t want!” - that’s you, that’s how you sound

“If these people don’t stop asking the Democrats to represent their interests then I’m going to blame them for Trump’s second term” - that’s you, that’s how you sound.

It’s as if you’ve already given up on this election and are looking for some “other” to blame so you don’t have to accept the fact that the DNC would rather lose an election than to stop arming Israel.

Even the poll you just posted shows dems are more in favor of a mutually beneficial outcome, as opposed to(not to beat a dead horse but) “finish the job.

And yet, the Democrats would rather stay the course than to do the thing that would net them more votes. By your own logic, the party is not doing everything it can to maximize its chances in the election.

You want to be seen and heard? get out and protest and vote for your best interests.

I’m doing exactly that. You’re responding to my protest now. We have an opportunity for productive dialogue and you risk squandering it with manipulative rhetoric. It is not possible to guilt a single-issue anti-genocide voter into tolerating genocide, but it might be possible to convince your political party that it needs to take a more principled stance on the topic.

You want to be ignored? Don’t vote.

Telling people I’m not going to vote has resulted in far more productive and nuanced conversations like this than a promise to vote ever has.

Not voting gives you literally no skin in the game to complain later

On the contrary, voters are the ones with no standing to complain, because they voted for it. Only the non-voting majority of Americans can claim that they are not represented by the political establishment.
