Mathematically, non-voters just voted for whoever wins. So, if you are anti-trump (or all the other evil he stands for) and he wins, but you didn't vote...you voted for him.

As a 2A liberal, I LOVE this. Black Panthers did it right, don't change what works!

The SCOTUS will rule the president still has immunity, again...they don't care what the Constitution actually says.

I think most informed people understand that voting for Biden isn't the cure-all. We are a car without breaks careening down a cliff side, winding, pothole-filled road slick with a fresh spill from a septic truck and we are faced with turning one direction and driving off the cliff or turning the other and staying on the rough road knowing there is at least a chance of it clearing up and hopefully offering some better intersections ahead. At least Joe's team is trying to hose off the sewage and is willing to hear you out about the asphalt-guy you know that can handle the job. The other guy's side has Ivan's Forestry Specialists on speed dial and just needs the cash advance to pay him, then he will totally be here any day to fix the roads cause he totally does that too. Also he is a pilot, so you should totally trust him that he can land the car if you go off the cliff...there sure are some nice roads down there at the bottom. Biden, or even Democrats won't fix everything. They will be conservative-lite, but the other option in our flawed system is conservative-FOREVER. The problem with your "we must all give up everything and probably go homeless to protest and rebel" is the prisoner's dilemma. We all go in 100% or we lose.... permanently. Those of us not dead set on going all-in, because we know others won't (not even debatable), want to maintain the status quo as the only good option, so we can at least fix the "we lose... permanently" part.

Or maybe I am an idiot and haven't eaten today. Those are my 3¢(inflation).

Oh, wow! I am using that in political chats, given our current political climate.

Army here. After getting out, it took me a VERY long time and a lot of mental struggle to start calling magazines "clips" in passing conversation, just to troll everyone at the range.

-Good liberals with infinite patience and calm rationality turned me from conservative, and kinda shitty guy, to centrist with empathy for others.

-Maga turned me from centrist to reliably liberal (vote for each person down ballot based on scrutiny of their merits instead of affiliation...but heavily blue leaning, unless the Dem was a knob or had a bad plan)

-P2025 turned me into VoteBlueNoMatterWho for every candidate for every election from local to president.

Yeah, you kinda gotta think about it...if the US falls, it won't fail and die, it will become evil. What side do you want them to be on in this next big war brewing? The world wars with the US on the other side seems rough for every good and decent person. Hell, Ukraine would be in a bad spot if the US was actively fighting along side the orks...well, Ukraine would be West-russia already, and that isn't even intending to speak ill of the Ukrainian heroes, it is just a shitty hypothetical reality. The US a big greedy resource vacuum that lets their corporations push them to meddle in world affairs, but they are also the insane PTSD soldier turned cop of the classroom keeping the other bully kids in line. It is a weird place to be, but the US feels like a floodgate that is tolerated, because without it, we have real bad things in the waters it holds back. So frustrating.
