I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

If you don't vote for biden then you too, are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians under Trump. You are personally complicit in the doubling or tripling of deaths, doubled or tripled export of weapons, and the outspoken sentiment of "kill them all" that Trump (your vote) actually expressed.

But good job trying to be a right wing fascist troll and guilting people into not voting so Trump wins.

It is exactly the same as the "personal carbon footprint" BS that corporations pushed to get the attention off the fact that 100 companies that individuals have no control of create over 70% of world emissions. Guilt people into accepting even worse outcomes and conditions by blaming them for things they literally cannot control.

"if you falsely testify that a criminal A didn't commit the charges against them, you're contributing to the acquittal of his partner B"

I mean it's true when you think about it, but at the same time you actually don't contribute to less evil being there in the world because you've breached your oath. Lesser evilism in a nutshell.
