You're right, minorities and poor people have suffered and some died while Democrats were ostensibly in charge. What do you propose an American does on election day?
Barring a cataclysmic reordering of American politics, it's still true that voting for anyone but the Democratic candidate will increase the odds of Trump winning. Trump is a blatant liar, corrupt, rapist, and racist. He's promised to enact revenge on those he perceives as his enemies, and his proposed policies will cause suffering an order of magnitude more than what is already unjustly inflicted on minorities and the poor.
It sucks. We should have good candidates to choose from. We should have ranked choice voting and a multi-party system, but we don't.
It's inflicting harm on yourself and many others to do anything other than vote Democrat in November. There's more we can do than vote, but that's a bare minimum.
