I mean, I want to take you seriously, but at the same time, I have a hard time believing that any one is this naive.
Its not, nor has it ever been, a binary choice. You may be broken internally an incapable of seeing as anything otherwise, but its not that way for most people.
This election is, and always has been, between Biden and the couch. There is no new information that we can learn about Trump that will stop his voters from voting for him.
No "Likely Biden" voter is ever going to vote for Trump. No Trump voter will ever vote for Biden. This dye was cast in 2015.
Biden needs to drive votership and most of what he's done in his campaign so far has been to drive votership away from him.
Biden needs to secure leftwing voting blocks like the youth vote. Its the youth vote that put him into office in 2020, along with black women in GA.
Instead, he has pushed the youth vote away with his straight up genocidal policies on Gaza, and fascist policies on free speech on college campuses.
*corrected, meant GA
From what I know about the USA's system it is binary - while you technically have more than two candidates it'll be one of the major two (republican or democrat) who'll win. So not voting or voting for a third party (which has no chance of getting elected(?)) means you don't change anything, and if Trump wins without those blocks then that means you're indirectly supporting him, simply by not opposing him with the only realistic option you have.
Please correct me if I'm wrong
