Forced candidate: "I promise to keep arming this genocidal apartheid state."

Voter: I will vote for you, because the only alternative that our party have allowed [0] a chance to win is even worse somehow.

Other voter: Hey, you know that candidate promised to continue to arm genocide, right?

Voter: Supporting her was the most rational choice. You whine. It feels like you're a bot. You don't understand the complex zero-sum game we are in. You, who I know nothing about, did nothing; while I voted. Also you're cynical and think you're morally superior.

Other voter: O-kay.

Like I said: 98% of America voted for a candidate who promised to arm genocide. We should be sanctioned by the world, and the only reason we aren't is because we threaten to either fuck their economy, ie [1], or literally invade them [2].
