I get the feeling that a lot of these people think that somehow withholding their vote to punish Biden is some kind of ultimate punishment and it allows them to feel superior without having to do anything else to actually contribute.

It gives them another 4 years of absolving themselves of any bad things that happen in the government. "Not my fault"

Same smug cowardice that libertarians love to preen over.

Its tactical. The right is in distress bc theyre so damn unpopular and their base is shrinking while the left is growing. So, for our enemies, its time to turn us against each other and convince us "voting bad." Bc low turn out is the only way they win. And they say, "but itll keep happening," except, it wont. Bc theyre in distress. Bc theres less and less boomers to vote for shit. So now, on the eve of tides turning, "wah! Itll always be this way! Give up, dont vote! The right will eventually win!"

Yeah. Tell people that voting for Biden is a vote for the removal of MAGA from politics.

I have yet to hear a convincing argument for why someone who says they won't vote for Biden shouldn't be actively voting for Trump.

They're the same thing... Like, on every level.

Nah the shit im seeing is more thay theyre the same thing so either dont vote bc fuck the system (and get full blown dictatorship, which the amerikiddies have never actually felt or heard first hand about to distinguish from authoritarian-lite biden) or dont vote/vote third party to push biden and the democrats left (which wont work in trump's murica where the slightest political deviation will be criminalized). Or they want fascism to speed along the revolution they claim to want. Bc thats going great in russia -___-
