Conscription by an illegitimate government in the middle of a civil war is slavery. Imagine being conscripted and sent to kill people in your home town.
Voting clearly does change things. It’s how we got Trump, and he changed a lot of things for the worse. It’s how Texas got Greg Abbott and Florida got Ron DeSantis, both people who’ve been changing things a lot.

If by “we” you mean Americans, then we certainly do have a lot to do with funding and supplying Israel’s genocide machine. I’m not justifying what happened, just pointing out that our leaders are making us complicit in all this shit.
It’s really quite sad that the Israel simps have abused the idea of antisemitism to the point that when I see accusations of antisemitism, I genuinely have no idea if they’re taking about serious bigotry or if they’re talking about people saying it’s bad to murder civilians.
I don’t remember anyone saying previous Republican candidates were literally Hitler. I also don’t recall any of them saying shit that’s taken almost verbatim from Hitler’s speeches. No promises to be a dictator. No talk of political purges. No “blood and soil” rhetoric.
If you think every election is the same, you have really not been paying attention.
