No empathy on your side. Clearly you haven't been in their position. It's like asking Jews in Nazi Germany to vote for Hitler because the other candidate is somehow worse. Except Hitler already proved himself bad for them and burned their family. They might not vote for the other candidate, but why would the support Hitler?
I have empathy for them, I have to ask if they have empathy at all. Trump issued a Muslim ban by executive action to get around congress, targetting middle east and african states, then he moved the US embassy in Israel without reciprocating such action for Palestine.
The choices you're saying were made and logic behind them do not add up. This isn't telling Jewish people to support Hitler. This is telling them to vote against Hitler for their sake and others, only for them to not show up to the polls and expect to hide out. Let me check my history books to see how that turned out...
There IS logic behind not showing up. The choice is impossible. Hitler vs worse Hitler. This is not something you logic through. If the game is rigged, then you don't play. That's how it is.
Also regarding Muslim ban: not the same thing as aiding the genocide. Can't believe I even have to say it. On the other hand obviously Trump is bad so I call him worse Hitler. I don't know how you didn't catch that.
