Like you, I didn't make the choice to abandon what I saw as the only hope we had to avoid being ruled under a resurrected Confederate States of America, but I know those who could not bring themselves to support the genocide by lending their vote to give approval either. To call them "bothsiders" is a terribly shallow fabrication that trivializes the role the Democratic Party operatives took in bringing us both to being party to a genocide and installing Trump a second time. They followed their 2016 playbook to a T (no pun intended) and produced an even worse result.
Those who follow more than mainstream media, as we both do, will agree on your assessment that Trump will be worse. Indeed, BOTH parties fell all over themselves trying to curry favor with Netanyahu, but only one held Presidential power so only one (1!) was seen and experienced by American citizens as being too weak to stand up to him. Cripes! Biden and Blinken were willing to let him run our universities, govern our citizens with "loyalty oaths" to the Israeli government in 38 states, and advocate for lethal force being used on OUR children, not Israeli kids, who protested a genocide on our college campuses. That should NOT sit well with any American who is made furious by being called "antisemitic" for saying we will not be governed by Netanyahu. A party who pulls that s--t, and the Democratic Party DID DO THAT is going to lose votes. 13 million fewer Democrats voted for their party in 2024 than in 2020.
A confirmation is AOC's New York district that went overwhelmingly for Trump as their President AND for AOC as their Representative, knowing FULL WELL that the operatives of the Democratic Party--the same Democratic Party corporate mob wanting Lina Khan fired -- also want AOC and the "Squad" GONE as badly as the Republican corporate mob wants them gone. The people, when seeing some semblance of an option, aren't supporting the corporate mob. A vote for Trump and for AOC is clearly a vote of people fed up with this Democratic Party as run by its operatives.

So under trump they will see Gaza turned to glass or something equally awful. Not so smart.
