Geopolitics isn't so one-dimensional. The US has long-standing agreements with Israel for intelligence, tech, and weapons in the middle east, like it or not. That can't just be unraveled at the drop of a hat without risking planetary stability.
Should the US not have put themselves in such a position in the 1950s? 100%. Should they have been more aggressive and quick on doing anything when the genocide started? Probably.
It wasn't "the democrats" or "the republicans." It was the US Federal Government as a whole. Choosing or abstaining a vote for a candidate solely on world events outside the US wouldn't have fixed that in any universe.
Reality can't be governed by aspiration, well, actually, I guess it can, because a bunch of idiots decided to hold back their vote that could have saved their own damn country, and look where the US is now, and now is only the beginning.
"Oh, I know, I don't like that my current Federal Government isn't being proactive world police in other countries even though I call out my nation for being proactive world police in other countries, so I'll show them by not voting for a Presidential candidate. They'll get my message...What do you mean a Genocidal Fascist Satan crew will win if I don't vote? They'll get my message! That's unpossible! I couldn't possibly be taking an action that will accelerate their genocide and lead to more genocide right in my home town?!"
Maybe too many people live in the world in their head instead of reality.
We also have very clear laws that specifically prohibit the sell of weapons to countries who plan to commit ethnic cleansing with them.
What your saying is low key gross tbh. If an ally is commiting genocide, the first thing that should happen is they simply stop being our ally, full stop.
If we were 90 years in the past and allied with Germany, would you be defending the holocaust? What if the holocaust continuing guarantees geopolitical stability?
It's also laughable to talk about geopolitical stability when it involves warmongering Israel. They almost started a war with Iran which would have probably involved nukes, and are occupying and pissing off essentially all their neighbors.
