      Doing that also lets Trump in. Actively standing in the way of a fascist takeover by Trump requires showing up for Biden at the polls.

          I’m sure all the LGBTQ+ folks, Muslims, and racial minorities of America who will be immeasurably harmed by another Trump presidency would disagree.

          What an unconscionably privileged position to consider voting for Biden to stop Trump to be not with it.

            People are dying right now. That’s not a hypothetical like you’re doing with a potential Trump presidency. Queer people, muslims, and minorities are dying because of Biden. That’s not even addressing how Biden has done nothing to secure voting rights in the U.S.

            You people keep using minorities to avoid criticism, but you aren’t even listening to them right now when they vote uncommitted in Michigan.

              And people will be dying regardless of whether Biden stays in office or Trump takes over. It is an absolute fact that Trump will be immeasurably worse than Biden if he wins, and refusing to vote for Biden to keep him out of office because you’re too proud to vote strategically is absolutely a privileged stance to take.
