This is correct. There are plenty of actions to be taken outside voting, but voting is quick, easy, and the bare fucking minimum. Vote and do whatever else you think you should do. If you don't vote (or just throw it away) then you're complicit in whatever happens.

So by that logic, if you vote for Harris and the genocide continues then you're complicit in whatever happens.

In fact, if you voted for Joe Biden, you're already complicit in a genocide.

Sure, and you have to accept your actions and your reasoning for them, and there are very good reasons to support Harris instead of Trump. Doing nothing and pretending you aren't complicit doesn't actually make it true. Your gotcha question is only appropriate for children.

Not supporting Harris is not the same as supporting Trump. Hope this helps!
