#didn't die or go to prison or get deported or have their lives upended by climate disasters or have to direct all their energy and time

One reason to vote i haven't personally seen mentioned (at least not phrased this way) is that even IF both candidates had the same exact genocide-enabling policies regarding israel, and only differed on domestic policy, one would still present a better fighting chance for palestine because like. A population with better healthcare, less poverty risk, stronger unions, higher wages and better protection for protesters will be more capable of protest.

A person who has to work multiple jobs to stay afloat is less likely to care and to protest about palestine than one who has to work less. A person who has to be a full time caretaker for an elderly or disabled family member with no financial support is less likely to educate themselves, to care and to protest than one who has the support they need. A person who already cares about and protests their country's insufficient climate policies will be more likely to take the time to protest Israel's genocide if there's fewer pieces of bad climate legislation to occupy their attention.

On the whole, a population that's healthier, more secure and less oppressed by its government doesn't inherently, entirely become complacent and self satisfied - many people in it will have the time, energy and safety to pay attention to the injustices elsewhere in the world and try their best to do something about them
