I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

Im a non-US non-Voter. But I feel the whole "every vote not for harris is a vote for trump" is quite frankly bullshit. People raising concern for palestinian are not trolling, or russian bots or selfish. You just disagree with them and are resorting to name calling.
Here are some facts:
A) early polls show that in swing states, votes for jill stein hurt trump more than harris.
B) if a third party gets more than 5%, this unlocks federal funding for the next election.
C) voting third party shows the actual voter sentiment of tiredness with the two main candidates. It incentivises other politicians to either form more parties or for the main parties to have candidates that represent the population better.
If everyone just votes for trump or harris, in 4 years you guys will be standing in the same place as now or 2016. It was the exact same rhetoric in 2016 "lesser of two evils". Obviously something needs to be changed.
I don't agree with your sentiment of "both bad". The democrat voters sympathise a lot more with Palestinians than Republican voters. If Trump gets into the white house he has a lot more political breathing space to continue and support the genocide.
Do you remember the Muslim ban he tried to make back when he was president? Biden is an asshole and he lacks the balls to stand up to israel and cut the military aid but Trump can do a lot worse like support an offensive against Iran, Israel's ultimate goal.
I am not telling anyone to vote for trump that guy is for sure bad. USA needs a more progressive leader, more than harris/biden, not just for the sake of US citizens but also everybody else in the world.
Kamala has already said she would support Israel "defending itself from Iran". Sorry, but no, your desperate attempts to convince yourself that Harris is somehow secretly against genocide are very ridiculous. Trump and Harris will both continue to commit acts of genocide by funding and arming the IDF, literally no matter what happens. The democrats have had the past year to do anything, and they've not just done nothing. They've prevented everyone else from doing anything, either.
I'm sorry you're stuck supporting genociders. You're censoring the actions of war criminals by continually denying that this is the case. The best you can do if your goal is to support Kamala Harris is not talk about the genocide at all. The more you draw attention to it, the more obvious her involvement in it is. It's a losing game.
Hey, I'm not denying anything. I'm very aware of the situation and what's happening. I think you're just not aware of how bad the Trump presidency was for Palestine before Oct 7
