    This is the part that bothers me with the “I won’t vote for Biden cuz genocide” crowd. They get very angry when you ask why they want Trump to be elected and become furious when you ask them to state an alternative.

      What makes you think they want trump either? The alternative is to have the party run someone that more people will vote for.

        The problem is that wanting or not wanting Trump isn’t the question. The question is whether you take actions that will make him becoming president inevitable or not.

          That’s on the candidate and the party that’s running them. People don’t want to be guilted into endorsing someone who doesn’t represent them.

          If the candidate can’t bring people to the poles, don’t blame the people they utterly failed to inspire. They need to change the candidate, or better represent the people.
