Did German citizens in the 1940s deserve what was coming to them?
Perhaps not, or at least certainly not all of them. And yet Hitler was lawfully elected, which means many of them voted for him. Netanyahu and Likud were also lawfully elected.
The question is, what responsibility do voters in a democracy hold for the actions of their democratically elected government? If fair and lawful elections are held, and the voters elect a government that enacts genocide, are those voters liable? Historically the answer to that question has been no. But is that the correct answer? If so, then should American Trump voters also be held liable for his national crimes? What about voters for George W. Bush?
Perhaps greater responsibility would cause the world’s voters to be more selective in whom they support.
Voting seemingly cannot change a system that produces results where a superpower is owned by billionaires and genocide is supported if it enriches the military industrial complex
Which means that the working class seemingly must consider other avenues of structural reform. What alternatives remain?
Voters can vote for Biden and maintain the stagnant and declining United States. Which will prolong our declining living standards and eroding global power
Or they can vote for Trump, who will destroy the United States, and the West along with it.
Neither is an option that will improve conditions for normal Americans. They can experience obliteration over 30 years, or experience it all at once. Either way, their living standards will continue to decline, as they have for the past 30 years. No option will ever be presented in the voting booth that will reverse our national decline.

Then Israel needs to be opposed, as do all ethnostates and genocidal regimes

Given that, what is to be done?
