    Doesn’t that seem strange to you?

    It doesn’t seem strange at all. I have never once heard someone suggest that staying home is a vote for Biden, but it’s pretty well agreed upon that not voting is a vote for Trump.

    …so Trump should win in a landslide, right? Yet he lost once. This seems like a glaring error in the idea that a protest vote is a vote for Trump.

    Only if you believe that election wasn’t stolen.

      That’s the strange part! Why is staying home a vote for Trump but not a vote for Biden? What makes them different?

          I give people the benefit of the doubt until they get nasty, so it’s no trouble to waste some time arguing with a brick wall 🙃

            I feel bad about this and I’d like to make it up to you.

            If you tell me your favorite candidate I promise to stay home on election day to cast a vote for them.

              I think I’m going to write in Aaron Bushnell.

              They already cast the only vote that matters as far as I’m concerned.

              Whichever génocidaire wins doesn’t really matter. America’s days are numbered.

                A vote not cast is a vote for Aaron Bushnell.

                This sounds a lot more productive than election day usually ends up. Thanks for making this election season inspiring.
