Well now you've handed Gaza to the butcher and good luck if you want to protest without getting arrested.

Voting is always better than not voting, yes.
And in a functional democratic system, voting for a candidate who's against genocide would be better than voting for a candidate who's currently part of the government supplying the genociders.
Sadly, the US aren't such a system.
To be fair protesters were already being injured and arrested. I know we're all still hurting at the election loss but let's not kid ourselves with the current administration either.
