For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
THAT is a lot worse than Joe Biden.
Then they should make me want to vote for them.
Trump should be enough motivation to vote for whoever is running against him.
Obviously it would be best to have someone you are motivated to vote for, but absent that mythical "perfect world", it's still in your interest to vote against the much worse candidate.
I’m not voting for Trump either. Somebody on the right would feel the same as you do about that not being a vote against Biden.
Not voting is my vote. You can play the game if you want but looks like you might be in Canada.
Given the cult-like loyalty that Trump somehow manages to have, I see abstaining from the vote as not negating their vote for the objectively more insane candidate.
Yes I am, and what you guys do down there has an outsized effect on us (and anyone else who has a diplomatic or trading relationship with the USA).
i'm one person. people are gonna vote if and however they want to vote. if Trump makes people vote, good for them. Biden does not make me want to vote, and using scare tactics to get me to vote proves they're just two sides of the same coin. left and right both have cult-like loyalty and there are insane people on both sides.
Tons of elections have been won or lost by a really small number of votes.

Not voting means someone else gets to make that choice for you.
"Both sides are the same" is a lazy cop-out.
There are clear differences if you're willing to put In a small amount of effort to try.
Sorry. I’m not voting this election. Best of luck to you.
you have to earn a vote, it is not something you get by default ... also they are materialy the same, also Biden has failed to make any of his promises to the electorate unless you count the one to the doners where he said nothing would change... so no I will not be voting for biden
