Tbf there isn’t really a way to avoid having blood on your hands as an American without going to jail. Simply abstaining from election doesn’t stop the violence, nor does it isolate you from the societal benefits of imperialism.
If you pay taxes to a country making war, you are by default funding that war. The great illusion of our bicameral Congress is choice, when in reality our government has always been beholden to the senatorial class.
Generally your options are to engage in harm reduction by voting for the lesser of two evils, or to engage in civil disobedience and be imprisoned.
Lol living in the US means 99% you’re living on land that was genocided from under the natives. It’s just funny to worry about ‘harm reduction’ wrt one more wedding or girl school being bombed
