And there are many like you who will follow suit. But there are also many who simply won't take time out of their day to vote if they don't feel good about who they are voting for.

The current strategy is to threaten and blackmail (project 2025, supreme court, Roe v Wade) potential voters, which I think will backfire, cause people to disengage, and depress turnout even further.

I personally will not be voting for either candidate, and especially not Biden, because of his enthusiastic support for and participation in genocide.

don't worry, if trump wins, there will be no more voting

Sounds like a very important election.

Democrats should probably run someone not alienating constituents whose vote he relies on.

They should also probably run someone who doesn't make everyone who watches that debate start thinking "mabie we need to 25th amendment this guy".

Death to America.

Why is that a problem? Voting doesn't seem to improve anyone's situation, change anything, or stop Americans from committing crimes against humanity. What is it's purpose?

That's what they said in 2016, too.
