If Trump wins and implements a federal abortion ban that includes giving police the power to monitor any woman moving across state lines, I really wonder if people like this author will feel indifferent about not voting. I agree with many of the points she's making but as much of an unpopular opinion it is among leftist spaces, I can't say I'm a fan of those who choose not to vote in the next election.
What I really don't understand about the author is that she's seemingly making no distinction between the Republican plan for Israel/Palestine and the Democrats' plan for Israel/Palestine. Dems are so far from perfect but good lord, are we really going to sit here and pretend that under a Trump presidency he wouldn't just give Israel free reign to kill as many civilians as they want? And is this the part of the discussion where someone claims that Biden has already done that, and that it couldn't get any worse?
Why would a leftist who is registered democrat give a shit about Trump? She isn't trying to pressure trump to do anything, she isn't voting for trump, she never supported trump and Trump has nothing to do with her goals. Further why have you spent any time whatsoever thinking about trump? It's been 4 years, 4 years of the party you nominally support enabling genocide and you can't even do the barest minimum to stop them from supporting that genocide?
