He is not a legitimate candidate for president. It's trump or Biden, no question asked.

You can vote for one or the other, and your non (or third party) vote will have implicit favor, depending on your location, regardless of your intent.

The primaries are over, pick trump or Biden. You get nothin else. Any ideological opinion on the value of voting or nonvoting ( moral or systemic) are moot, as the system is already constrained to 2 outcomes.

Edit if you are not a Christian nationalist, any action you take that does not competitively keep trump out of office is against your interests. If your vote doesn't matter because you are in a very blue place, you choose nonvoting out of privilege, and therefore put at risk neighbors at risk due to your lax conduct.
