You're quite mistaken about that. You will be responsible for trump if you had the option to vote against him and chose not to do so.

Sorry, who? And what?
You need to realise that the world is not black and white - it exists in shades of grey where nobody gets everything they want, and have to accept compromise for the greater good. You seem to be stuck in a mental state where you can't bring yourself to vote for a party that isn't offering a perfect world to you, and you must get past that and look at the bigger picture, and the impact of disgruntled blue voters staying home in protest. If trump wins, your protest will have contributed to that win, and you'll have to live with that.
Then you're making an emotional decision based on refusing to accept anything less than perfect, and since perfection is not an option in this election, and because not voting is essentially a vote that trump doesn't have to counter, abstaining voters are proportionally more helpful to trump than they are to Harris.
If only that would work in the US
Right. I'm not American though, so I don't recognise any of those companies except for FedEx.
The cost is in the lost productivity from having someone off work with injuries. A barbecue every 6 months seems like a bargain.
What does LTL stand for ?
4 bits is a nybble
What's her name ?
Some of the people who support him are, but they don't (yet) have the power to implement it.
Well in that case, despite my attempts to educate you, you're simply delusional, and I'm not saying that to insult you - I really want to help you see the bigger picture here - I'm saying it because you're suffering from delusion, and you're not seeing the world for what it is. You are so focused on "punishing" the dems for not blocking aid to Israel (and to that point, I strongly recommend you read the comment below at https://lemmy.nz/post/15784628/11773697 as to why it isn't as simple as you might think), that you're willing to throw away what could be a deciding vote - the polls right now are so even that even a few hundred votes in the right places could throw the election the other way. Perhaps you live in a solid blue state, where you expect Harris to win regardless of how you vote, but when you post comments such as yours on a public forum, other people are going to read them, and be influenced, and if your post makes someone stop and think 'hmm... you know what, I don't agree with Biden's actions, so I'm going to abstain and punish them', and those voters are in swing states, then your actions will have had consequences. Your anger is preventing you from being able to see the bigger picture.
As for your comment that I'm seeing things in black and white, you couldn't be further from the truth. I'm not even an American, so I literally have no vote here, but the outcome of this election will have global consequences that will impact me, and that's why I'm keen for common sense to prevail, and for Harris to win. That's why, all things considered, and despite objections I may have to Biden, or even Harris's policies as they impact the rest of the world, the alternative, where Trump wins another term, simply does not bear thinking about.
