You don’t think a 2nd Trump administration would fund a genocide? Why? What about Trump says to you, “Oh yeah, this guy would definitely put a stop to the mass-murder of brown people”?
Not really.
If you’re not in a swing state then you could throw your support behind your preferred third-party candidate, or write in the name of literally any person you can think of who would cut off aid to Israel.
But not voting just says you’re OK with whomever the other voters pick for president. It says you don’t see a meaningful difference between Biden and Trump. And if you honestly don’t, OK, you’re allowed to think that. But in November, unless one of them dies, either Biden is going to win the election, or Trump is. The want to discourage people from voting against them. If you’re not voting you’re neutral so they don’t care as much.
From a pragmatic point it would be easier for the propaganda apparatus to explain away a smaller than usual turnout (voters are lazy, etc.) than a larger than usual this party vote.
Either way they'll do their best to bury it though.
That's why I advocate "undervoting". Go vote, cast a ballot, but leave the spots with no good options blank. It shows that you aren't a "lazy" voter, actually voted, and chose the hidden "none of the above" option.
