You've got rather low expectations. — Benkei
voting for someone tautologically implies support — StreetlightX
If you would otherwise vote Democrat but are staying at home or voting 3rd party because of your dislike of Biden, then you are tautologically casting a vote for Trump. — EricH
Again with the mental gymnastics. — StreetlightX

↪Frank Apisa Summary: "not Trump" therefore decent. As I said, very low expectations.
I get that you're at the point where voting for the lesser evil feels like a morally outstanding act (I disagree but we don't need to repeat that dance ad nauseum). But you're still voting for a sleazebag so let's not call Biden decent, shall we? — Benkei
Our country will be a much better country with him at the helm. — Frank Apisa
If you do not vote...you will not be "sitting this one out." You will be helping Trump. Trump, and the GOP, are hoping as many people as possible "sit this one out." Trump and the GOP are doing every thing they can to get as many people as possible to "sit this one out." — Frank Apisa
Quit while you are far behind. You obviously do not have the intellectual resources to catch up. — Frank Apisa
So withhold your vote...and aid Trump. — Frank Apisa
We are all responsible for the reasonably predictable consequences of our actions. We can predict with reasonable certainty that a second Trump term will be a catastrophe for the US and the larger world. With Biden, at least there is a chance of improvement.
In a perfect world we would not have to choose between two deeply flawed candidates, but - as the saying goes - we need to accept that there are things we cannot change. I wish that the Democratic Party had found a better candidate, but if it comes down to Biden vs. Trump, I will hold my nose and vote for Biden. — EricH

Logic lesson: I have an apple. I've refused to give my apple to Joe or Don. Therefore, I did not give my apple to Joe or Don. The fact that I would have given my apple to Joe if Joe hadn't (probably) raped Tara still does not mean I gave my apple to Don. — Baden
So some people literally can't understand how an election works? wtf? — frank
Perhaps I should have said you're "essentially casting a vote for Trump," — Xtrix
Thus you've inadvertently helped Trump win — Xtrix
Yeah, very different thing. The language matters because it's about responsibility. The only people directly responsible for Trump being in office are those who vote for him. — Baden

It's like: if I sit on the floor and hold my breath, maybe someone will notice and care, and do some unspecified good because of my display of toddlerhood. — frank
