    then not voting for Biden means helping Trump win.

    No, it doesn’t, and loops right back around to the rhetoric that started my whole comment chain here.

    A vote for Trump helps Trump win. If Trump got no votes, Trump would not win. The responsibility for electing Trump rests squarely on the shoulders of those who voted for Trump. No one else.

      No, it doesn’t

      Yes it does…

      If Trump got no votes, Trump would not win.

      Because this is impossible. The Republicans will always get some votes.

      If only one Republican voted for Trump, and no Democrats bothered to vote, the Democrats helped Trump win by not voting.

      If instead of 0 Democrats, 2 came out to vote and Biden won? Then all Republicans who didn’t vote helped Biden win.

      If you have the opportunity to change the outcome, but you don’t take action to make the change, you’re responsible for your part in the result.
