This idiotic logic is precisely why US is where it is today.

You mean the logic of "I'm not going to do anything and neither should anyone else"?

Nobody is making this argument except you.

Considering I specifically suggested doing something is better than doing nothing, I'm going to go ahead and guess that listening to what other people are saying isn't a strength of yours.

Doing something is what the students protesting the genocide are currently doing, not voting for the guy doing the genocide. The fact that you don't understand these basic things is truly phenomenal.

I understand that the people protesting are doing something. This is the first time you've actually advocated for an action.

People are fully capable of both protesting and voting to keep someone worse from doing worse things. The fact that you don't understand these basic things is truly phenomenal.

Protesting a genocide is real tangible action, voting for a guy committing the genocide is the opposite that action. Hope that helps clear things up for you since you seem to have trouble grasping this concept.
