You cannot improve on it by giving unconditional support to those committing the genocide.
There are other means of resistance that don't give power to those who will do worse. Take direct action and vote for who will reduce harm.
Do not normalize or support genociders.
Re: reducing harm, genocide is as harmful as it gets and the candidate you are telkjng people to support is an active part of the ongoing genocide. The idea that you would be reducing harm by advocating for that is absurd.
You should, of course, engage in meaningful resistance, but those who rationalize voting for genociders are not the people who do that. This is a barrier to action, it is complacency.
The current administration is advocating for a ceasefire while Trump is literally on the other line with Bibi trying to thwart the negotiation. These things are not the same.
Continuing to behave as though Netanyahu is acting in good faith when it's clear he isn't is called "being played."
The current administration is not advocating for a ceasefire, they are just telling you that they are. They have redefined the meaning of the term to mean full surrender and occupation for Gaza and all the while have been providing unconditional material support for Israel, including when they kill the negotiators for the resistance.
This is something that Harris is particularly complicit in, she was a major part of the push in March-June for this redefinition of ceasefire.
This is also why ceasefire rhetoric was always very weak. It is just so easy to coopt. The newer line on ending arms to Israel is much better.
How did you figure out how to not pay taxes?
There's this secret hack called, "not being an American citizen despite being everywhere in threads about US elections"
While taxes show up on a balance sheet somewhere, the MIC is funded by financial magic and imperialism. If committing tax fraud would help the cause I would probably do it, but I really don't think it does.

You do it by overwhelmingly knocking out the GOP so that there’s room within the blue wave for more progressive candidates.
If, somehow, the Democrats swept with some insane margins, the GOP in its current form would need to evolve or die.
When a race is this close, the Democrats will always move to the center.
That's not how it works. Dems treat their "left" flank as a group to be disciplined, not accommodated. And giving them the greenlight on genocide confirms a move right, not making space for the left.
Dems got their "wave" under Biden. They have moved right and their "progressives" have been cowed.
But genocide should be something you consider a red line regardless of the illogic sold to you by the party.
The same applies to Democrats who are committing a genocide, don't you think?
The Democrats move to the center because they are gambling that their "concerned" voters will fall in line and because they absolutely do not want to do the things those "concerned" voters want.
They look at you as someone to be handled by PR, not met with any concessions. And you enable that, including genocide, by voting blue no matter who.
