Voting for something and getting something by mistake are two quite different things. I have explained the philosophical difference, but it's obviously beyond your ability to understand.

Buying something Made in China is different from whipping slaves on the plantation I own.

China is a state and doesn't run slaves [contrary to the recent news] any more than does New Zealand or the USA where people are serfs, mere state chattels, same as in China.

You are a slave driver, I'm a freedom lover. You vote for slavery and serfdom, even including your own [Uncle Tom]. I vote for liberty and property. You are suffering Stockholm Syndrome and group identity, like any garden-variety Nuremberg rally attendee.

It was you, not we. Don't include me in your 'we'. Hiding in a cowardly mob doesn't make your evil-doing less evil.
