No and you are exactly the person this post is aimed at. It LITERALLY SHOWS DEMOCRATS have problems but trump is worse. If you vote for no one you are saying you are 100% equally okay with either trump or Biden winning. If that is your intent then you do you. But you are refraining from voting as a form of protest against Biden than that is not only not helping your cause you are actively hurting your own cause. I am flabbergasted how many supposedly intelligent people do not understand the broad ramifications of their actions

supposedly intelligent

Well there's your problem.

Lmao. You think his age and Israel are the only problems? Wow. Immigration, Housing, protectionist policies, and cost of living are also big problems. Not pushing to get rid of the filibuster, not even trying to appoint more SCOTUS judges to make it more representative of the country.

Dude the list goes on. This meme is blatant propaganda.

And no. Not voting for either one because you don't like either one doesn't mean anything other than that. You don't get to try to gaslight people. It also just makes us not want to vote even more.

I would try and correct you on your incorrect usage of "gaslighting" but I have a feeling you may have trouble understanding distinctions. Good for you for publicly announcing you're just as okay for trump being president as you are as Biden. Good luck in preferred candidate winning.

to psychologically manipulate (a person) usually over an extended period of time so that the victim questions the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories and experiences confusion, loss of confidence and self-esteem, and doubts concerning their own emotional or mental stability

The constant refrain of calling us Trump supporters or telling us we're just as okay with Trump very much fits the definition. Not supporting Biden does not mean we support Trump. That gaslighting is how we got into this mess in the first place.

It clearly is the same if you're going to go as far as to let Trump win over it.

But go ahead, keep gaslighting us minorities about how we're all just genocide supporters for wanting to live more than we want you to feel morally sound in not having to write a check mark on a fucking piece of paper to protect us here in the US.

That is not what the word gaslighting means, yet again. And I'm sorry but you're not REALLY so niave as to think third party is winning this election? In which case yes by your actions you are just as okay with trump as Biden. It's really not difficult to work out but apparently you have difficulty with the meaning of words.

That's literally the Merriam Webster definition.

You're hilarious.
