you’re voting for Palestinians to be killed by Trump
First of all i’m not voting at all in US elections because i’m not American and don’t live in the US. But also, why does abstaining (which i’m not saying to do, if you think voting has an impact you can always vote third party or write in a candidate) count as a vote for Trump? A Republican could use the same argument as you to argue that: “If you abstain you are just giving your vote to Biden!”. How is their argument any different? The argument that abstaining means voting for party Y only works if you already want party X to win. A leftist should want neither to win.
who will not be as easy to sway with public opinion as Biden
I’m not seeing Biden being swayed by public opinion at all, the only ones who seem to sway him are the neocon warmongers, Wall Street, and the military industrial complex. He continues to enthusiastically aid and abet the genocide of Palestine despite massive and repeated protests. He continues to back NATO militarization, anti-Russia, anti-China and anti-Iran war posturing. He has started to bomb yet another middle eastern country with his strikes on Yemen.
I think you’re fooling yourself into believing in a version of the Democratic party that does not exist outside its supporters’ propaganda rhetoric.
