It's actually sad that you would talk about privilege. That may apply to some people. What if for example your cousin is living in Palestine? What then? What privilege do you have? If you vote for Harris, you're guaranteed more of the same.

The privilege that you have is that you don't have family members dying from policies that Harris endorses. And I think Trump would be even worse, so there's a practical argument that people should vote for Harris anyway, but that's a tough sell if it's your immediate family or your best friends who are in the literal crosshairs.
