Please think of the trans kids and the LGBT folks and all the women affected by abortion laws, and drag queens trying to make their art. Come on Americans, you can do it.

The most vulnerable people I know are being targeted by a campaign of genocide. How do I vote in their best interests?
Assuming you're talking about Palestine, probably the one that hasn't told donors that he plans to crush protests and deport demonstrators on the matter
Okay, now how do I help the people being genocided?
They just told you. You have two realistic options (sorry, third parties are a fantasy under the current American electoral system). One of those options will permit and even tepidly support genocide in Palestine, the other will actively and eagerly encourage it. You pick the lesser of those two evils, and then you fight like hell against them until you get the results you're actually looking for.
One of the smartest things I've ever heard about Western liberal democracy is this; "Voting is when you get to choose your opponent." You're not endorsing a platform, you're arranging the battlefield.
At the end of the day, Trump will be somewhat worse for the people of Palestine than Biden will, and much, much worse for everyone in America. It might feel icky voting for Biden, but if you truly care about the lives of the people in Gaza, it is the best choice you can make under the options available to you.

President Biden will also announce new contributions totaling $316 million to support the Palestinian people. This is on top of the more than half a billion dollars the United States has provided to the Palestinian people since the Biden Administration restored much needed funding to the Palestinians.
Finally, President Biden's reiteration that the only way forward to maintain Israel's security is through the two-state solution is consistent with the administration's approach from day one.
The directive signed by Biden last month effectively allows Palestinian immigrants who would otherwise have to leave the United States to stay without the threat of deportation for at least 18 months.
You don't. Not with your vote, anyway - these libs telling you to "vote blue no matter who" aren't interested in Palestinians apart from the bad optics it brings to their liberal ideology.
Vote your conscience - but if you want to help Palestinians, you have to go outside the "formal" political channels (the "formal" political channels are all perfectly fine with the slaughter)... just like the people who protested the Vietnam War.
