Donald Trump appears close to invincible in the early Republican primaries and caucuses, but his strength among general election voters remains unclear.
I’ll die before voting for Trump (I’m trans so Trump winning well be extremely bad for me). But I’m so discouraged right now that i don’t know what to do
At the very least, you can take some solace knowing that Biden winning means less dead civilians in Gaza than if Trump had won. I don’t think this is even arguable. If Gaza is your issue and you absolutely have to vote based on that issue, voting for Biden is clearly the correct decision. It might not feel great, but Trump will not prevent a single death that Biden has the power to stop. He’ll accelerate the process.
Not voting for Trump will buy you no relief when he destroys this country. And he’ll still support Israel’s genocide on top of it. I withheld my vote in support of the progressive movement under Bernie. The effect was the reverse. We all want better, but we need to stop the bleeding first. If democracy falters we likely won’t see it again within our lifetimes. Xi, Putin, Kim, they are nothing compared to a dictator with the economic/military backing of the US economy.
