Since when does it fall on the population to put their concerns aside and fall in line?
I don't understand what "fall in line" is means here? US isn't an authoritarian system (yet), you don't have to become a footsoldier for any party. Just be an adult and use the extremely important power that you have asbest as you can.

There are also other elections which are ultimately just as important as presidential elections.

Just generally, it's so incredibly frustrating to watch an election happen that has enormous importance for everyone in the world, including me, knowing that I can't vote in it and then watching people who could vote in it consider not voting for such incredibly childish reasons.

Yeah, I hate the genocide too, but unfortunately it's not an issue you really get to vote on. Just deal with it, that's the world we live in. (Also, Harris would at best be the president in January, at which point whatever is going to happen in Gaza has mostly already happened.)

Like someone said here, the options in this election are a s*** sandwich filled with glass or chicken, and somehow people keep complaining that this isn't the kind of chicken they like. Even if you're a vegetarian, if you have a brain you'd rather have the chicken.
