Voting for someone in an election in the US is not an endorsement of that person. You have effectively two choices in many of the elections due to how the system is designed. You vote for the best choice of those two.
Not voting, or voting for a non viable candidate, is a signal that you Do Not Care who is in power.
Voting is a tool, and a civic duty. It’s one of the few ways US society allows direct input from citizens.
If you actually are against facism, don’t use misguided idealism to encourage people to throw away the little political power they have.
voting for someone in an election is absolutely a show of support for that person. voting anything other than a third party candidate makes you complicit in genocide imo
Advocating that people vote third party supports genocide more than quietly voting for Biden because you increase the probability of more genocide, while voting for Biden decreases the probability of more genocide.
This relies on the assumption that Trump wants to commit more genocide.
I don’t think Trump will enable more genocide in Gaza than Biden. In fact, I think Trump will withdrawal all support for Ukraine and Israel to focus on starting to genocide the Chinese.
Voting for someone actively supporting genocide is less genocidal than voting for someone who advocates for ending genocide? Y’all got some serious mental gymnastics going on
i’m actively encouraging people to vote, not dissuading. and your elections affect lots of countries beyond the us, you realise that right?
you’re probably the exact same kind of guy who says stuff like “russians haven’t deposed putin yet so they’re complicit” but when it comes to biden they act like oh it’s not an endorsement to vote for him

So, in other words, you’re saying that Trump wants to commit more genocide, and the assumption is correct?
Quite possibly. My comment wasn’t intended as a refutation.

Fortunately you have to be a US citizen to vote in the election, so we don’t have to worry about your opinion.

No. Stop trying to dissuade people in a different country than your own to vote.

Boycotting is also very patriotic
