Saw this today, and … well, I’m not going to be so forgiving to people suggesting to vote Third Party rather than vote for Biden. If Trump wants me to do something, and you want me to do that same something, that tells me you’re aligned with Trump.

    You can both demand Biden do better and still meaningfully vote against Trump. These are not mutually exclusive actions.

    By all means, threaten to not vote for him. Write him a letter saying why you refuse to donate to his campaign. Hold him accountable for his part in not condemning Israel and withdrawing support for them. But when the time comes in this election year, if you don’t actually vote for the Democrat candidate, you are undeniably tipping the scale in favor of the more genocidal candidate.

    It’s not that anybody arguing to vote for Biden wants him to win. It’s just that nobody here wants Trump to win instead.

    If you can’t understand the cost of Trump winning, good luck to you, and thanks for ruining it for the rest of the country.
