I'm pro-Palestine, and can't say I found this argument to be well-supported. It makes a good case for the moral obligation to oppose genocide, but does not follow through in making a convincing argument that the way to achieve it is to not support either presidential ticket.
The article relies on a falacy by putting genocide in all-or-nothing moral terms. Frankly, genocide will keep occurring in our world. Supporting a side that guarantees less of it is morally justifiable, imo.
