Are you actually going to do this? Are you actually going to vote for Biden and what his party stands for?

Trump Defectors all hang out together at Big Foot’s house.

I don't understand why no one here can grasp the possibility that these people just won't vote rather than casting a ballot for Biden

True. However a abstention can certainly equate to a vote for the other guy, most especially in any of the closely contested "swing" areas. Where people like to do a little swinging.

I always find it interesting how both sides always claim an abstention is always a vote for the other team. Seems like they would cancel each other out.

Two guys, one for Biden, one for Trump. Biden guy enters his vote for Biden. Trump guy gets all hot and bothered at the last minute and decides to stay home. What's the net result?

Child Groping isn't a deal breaker for Biden voters.

I don't understand why you can't understand this still equals a vote for Biden

Exactly. Both sides say that if you don’t vote for their candidate, it’s a vote for the other candidate. It’s just factually not true, a non vote is exactly that, it’s not a vote for either side. If there are 10 people in a room and 8 don’t vote, those 8 votes were not votes and only the 2 votes will be counted.

That assumes you can quantify the prospective votes of the 100 million people that don't vote

Turnout is the key to a lot of elections.

Per usual you are correct Bamarep.

Trump will gain back the minuscule number of Republicans that voted for Her last time (except for the 7 NeverTrumpers who work for “public policy think tanks” or are professional pundits and are fascinated with their own relevance and the smell of their own farts).

Trump will also gain at Biden’s expense some as yet undetermined portion of registered democrats (small d deliberate) who are normal people and who are disgusted with the fact that their party has chosen a bunch of purple haired freaks setting shite on fire over them. (See: eg Toddy). Unfortunately for Biden, the purple haired freaks don’t vote, they just make a shite ton of noise.

I think Trump wins the Popular Vote this time by a narrow percentage, and a wider Electoral College victory than last time. He came very close to winning Minnesota in 2016. He wins it this time around. People do not want chaos

Ok so let’s simplify the math. There are only 10 people in the country, 8 people do not vote and 2 people vote for Trump... if not voting equals a vote for Biden, then Biden would win the election. ????

Trump defectors are the same people that said they would not vote for Trump in 2016, and pretended like they did , but really didn’t . Same ole lame arse RINO Republicans .

Well, again, as I mentioned previously if you have similar breakdown of Trump supporters vs Biden supporters in a place like Michigan or Pennsylvania, and the vast majority of Biden supporters pull the lever regardless of qualms with him.....but on the other side a significant enough number of Trump supporters abstain after nitpicking the President, then surely it's obvious the negative net effect of that scenario.

And it does seem pretty obvious to me that Biden supporters don't nitpick like Trump supporters do, which is quite a potential problem.

Why, if you do not mind me asking?

Abstaining is absolutely a vote for the other side. Think about it. If 63,000,000 people vote for DJT and 63,100,000 vote for Biden, the votes that really count are the ones that do not cancel out. That extra 100k could be 1 million, hell it could be 1 vote.

Vote man, I implore you to do so. Every American that can vote, should vote.
