I am responding to brynden here, but this is for anyone, especially those who believe the most moral choice in Nov 2024 was to vote third party or not at all…
Do you pay taxes to the US government? If you do, could you explain to me how not voting for Harris absolves you of moral culpability for genocide, but giving thousands of dollars every year to the Feds (who have always been controlled by a major party), who will use that money to directly fund genocide, doesn’t make you even more culpable than that single vote for Harris?
Voting for someone who says “I will arm a genocide” means you’ve voluntarily helped that person to do that.
I don’t think paying taxes under duress to a government that arms a genocide is comparable.
Do I understand you as saying “you could go to jail rather than pay taxes, therefore you’re a hypocrite for not voting for someone who says ‘I will arm a genocide’?”

Do you all live off the grid on a barter system?
Because you don’t pay taxes voluntarily? You pay taxes under duress. If you don’t they put you in prison.
So, your ethical/moral framework is optional. Only comes into play if there are no consequences or fallout from you doing the right thing. Got it.
