“Every previous president would have ended it by now.”

“Biden literally couldn’t do worse.”

    I’ve frequently seen this claim, and similar ones, but it doesn’t really make sense. If not voting for Biden or not voting at all is actually a vote for Trump then his votes outnumber Biden’s by a landslide since ~80 million people don’t vote. So, by this logic, Trump should win and it shouldn’t even be close.

      I think most folks can deduce that the intended meaning is that not voting for Biden is a choice that makes it more likely that Trump will win.

      Nobody is believing that not voting results in a filled out ballot for trump magically appearing.
