Those people are fucking stupid. Biden is less bad than Trump. There is no third option. Nothing else matters.

Everyone is going to fucking die if Trump wins and there will never be another election for the Democrats or anyone else to learn from.

I spit on the principles of these non-voters. Bunch of short-sighted, single-issue idiots voting off illogical premises. They have no more place participating in our democracy than Trump voters. Gonna kill tens to hundreds of millions of people and end a country because Joe Biden won't end America's 70+ years of funding genocide in Israel.

If Biden hurts Gaza and Trump hurts Gaza and America, and you know no other candidate has a path to victory, how do you not simply pick the option that kills the least people? You're saying death is inevitable, so damage mitigation should be the name of the game If you vote, you're responsible for the consequences, but not the consequences of you not voting? How does that logic work?

Good people with good principles don't get tired and say "Fuck it. Let's all die" because some people are dying. Not voting isn't a valiant protest. It's quitting.

First they're not saying don't vote, they're gonna vote some non-genocidal candidate that would win if all the "we have to vote for biden..." people actually voted for, but that'll never happen so pointless to discuss.

But the rest of what you said, yeah no one actually believes that will happen though. Literally no one believes that if trump gains power, the US is going to switch to being in sepia tone, nazis with red arm bands will be marching up and down the streets, pogroms, and then they attack poland. No. Instead, they just believe they will get "slightly worse than biden" for president, and you gotta put up with him for 4 years till he buggers right back off because he's already had a first term.

Let's just face it, both options are so bad, they kind of melt into each other. The 2 party system is a complete sham, and the overall situation is not really going to be any different depending on who gets power. The corporations that decide what's good for domestic policy are still going to be bribing your elected politician, and AIPAC is still going to be dictating a lot of the foreign policy in the middle east where the US screws up a lot.

Otherwise, both trump and biden are the same where it really matters to the world at large, foreign policy. Both of them have the potential to steer us into a nuclear apocalypse, and that's really the only scenario that will bring about a reality similar to the exaggerated one you described.
