Did you ever try asking someone to explain the reasoning, or did you you just assume whatever strawman you came up with was real?

Sure. If you make your vote conditional on supporting a certain policy, then you create an incentive for politicians to support that policy in the future. Politicians have no incentive to care about the concerns of people who support them unconditionally. That means it’s at least potentially the rational and strategic line to draw a red line somewhere, and if you agree with that, then it’s pretty obvious that genocide is crossing that line.

Pretty simple. As the saying goes, why buy the cow (give the voters what they want) when you can get the milk (votes) for free?

I still don’t understand why just because Kamala didn’t explicitly oppose Israël, you choose to allow Trump to worsen the whole situation by forcefully deporting all Palestinians out of Gaza.

Single issue voting is unintelligent and harmful to society. Exhibit A) The current state of the USA.
