If democrats as a group broadly endorse the genocide of Palestinians, how can they still be taken seriously regarding issues like abortion (rights ended during Dem presidency) and BLM?

I skipped over it because it's practically a non-sequitur, and it's nearly the same argument as Trump vs Harris on Gaza. You've got the party that might do something good and you've got the party that definitely will do nothing good, and you have no other viable option. Not a difficult choice at that point, for me.

So the last time you pulled the lever for Harris, Democrats solved all non-Palestinian-genocide related issues?

It's dumb of me to question your lever pulling logic?

No, but it's pretty disingenuous to suggest that either all problems must have been solved or else I should make a choice that might let Trump in.

I'm not here to shame anyone for how they are voting, and don't really care what you think of my "lever puling logic" - I was trying to get at the heart of your trolley analogy.

And yes, it's exactly as stated - you are very focused on the Trolley, while I consider it an unstoppable force at this time. All the rest of our "argument" is just restating that difference more explicitly.
