Kamala gets elected, genocide might continue for a while, but at least we have time and still have a democracy and the chance to vote in people who will condemn genocide.

There is an effectively zero chance of any third party candidate winning the election, so if you care so much about genocide, throwing your vote away to third party where you would have otherwise voted for Kamala is essentially taking away a vote from Kamala and giving it to Trump, supporting even further genocide.

Any questions?

So Trump gets elected, the genocide gets 10x worse

Why would it get worse, materially, let alone 10 times? Harris has promised to never cease giving Israel bombs to "defend itself," what's Trump going to do to make it worse?

Spoiler: there will not be that candidate. Next election in 4 years, if there are any Palestinians left, there will still be 2 Zionist candidates representing the DNC and GOP, and the anti-genocide candidates will be 3rd parties with little to no chance of winning.

Because Republicans are entirely fans of Israel and would do anything to help them... This is common information, have you been living under a fucking rock? Republicans have repeatedly shown that they will help Israel.

Nobody knows that for sure. If people care about it, they will run for office. It sounds like you prioritize the presidential elections and ignore local elections, because those are what matter in getting "that candidate".

As are the DNC, are you living under a rock?

Ah, the "vibe a candidate that can take the office from an incumbent out of thin-air" approach. And no, local elections are far more consequential, not sure where you think I suggested otherwise.
