      support for genocide

      The same genocide that Trump supports, likely more than Biden?

      If the genocide in Palestine was someone’s single issue, they’d be pretty disappointed if Trump were making decisions about the Palestine…

                True. They could replace Biden with Clinton.

                The voters lack of control is the main reason we are in this mess. Only 14m people chose Biden in the primary.

                  I agree with you there.

                  I’m also (obviously) against the genocide.

                  I just think Trump would be worse in every way, including regarding the genocide (and other potential future genocides and/or wars).

              Maybe it’d appeal more to you. But they’ve likely done their research and figured that they’d lose more votes from swapping him out.

              They could be right or wrong, but they’re not making these decisions blindly.

                  No, because the voters still have a choice to vote.

                  There’s no guarantee that swapping candidates would get them more net votes.

                  There’s a guarantee that Democrat or flip voters who abstain from voting for Biden are helping Trump win.

              Yes, if voters who vote Republican or flip between Republican/Democrat decide not to vote for Trump, then that would help Biden win.

                  Or are they helping both?

                  Actually, I’ve read that voter apathy tends to help Right-wing parties. If that’s true and accurate, then independents who don’t vote for either would be helping Trump.

      “Excuse excuse excuse, I feel bad voting for Biden so I won’t”

      Very inspiring. What other emotions do you have trouble dealing with?
