Doesn’t that seem strange to you?

It doesn't seem strange at all. I have never once heard someone suggest that staying home is a vote for Biden, but it's pretty well agreed upon that not voting is a vote for Trump.

...so Trump should win in a landslide, right? Yet he lost once. This seems like a glaring error in the idea that a protest vote is a vote for Trump.

Only if you believe that election wasn't stolen.

That's the strange part! Why is staying home a vote for Trump but not a vote for Biden? What makes them different?
