Keep watching to the end for what you can do about it.

            For the record, I’m an advocate for everyone voting. I don’t think anyone should not vote as a protest. I just take issue with the analogy that a vote not for Biden is a vote for Trump. If you want to blame someone for Trump getting elected, blame those that voted for him.

              Mathematically is kind of is though. At least that’s how it works out in a FPTP system. A 3rd party/non vote doesn’t carry as much weight as someone voting for Trump, but it still moves the needle in his direction. EDIT: to clarify this, GOP voters are generally the minority, that means the GOP candidate benefits more from a smaller pool of votes than the Democratic candidate does.

              If you want to blame someone for Trump getting elected, blame those that voted for him.

              I think you can blame both. The Trump voter deserves significantly more though.

      That’s not the only thing, but it’s the minimum required thing. There’s also activism.
