I sure hope the young ones all fired up (and rightly so) about the situation in Gaza also come to realize that by withholding their vote for Biden, or voting for a 3rd party candidate without a chance of winning, they are guaranteeing that Trump will take office, and if they think things are bad now, just wait till he starts (or rather continues) dismantling democracy.
