By this reasoning, the only vote not for Biden is a vote for Trump, so by staying home you're actually voting twice.

by staying home you are voting for every candidate in the race simultaneously, which is voter fraud
Oops. Turns out the massive voter fraud was actually just the friends we made along the way.
Libs: Just 
Also libs: NOOO DONT VOTE 
Me voting for my dad twice because I love him very much 
Listening to Chapo Trap House is a vote for Trump.
Posting on Hexbear.net is a vote for Trump.
Pleasuring yourself while high is a vote for Trump.
I've done so much voter fraud
Pleasuring yourself while high is a vote for Trump
Vote early. Vote often. 
This incoming new data suggests an election at this point is pointless. Trump's already won.
A vote for Biden is a vote for Trump. Real patriots will write in Hillary Clinton and peace will be achieved on earth. America will ascend into the heavens as light itself leads us to utopia. TANKKKIES like Rob Reiner will try to convince you otherwise.
It would be a funny bit if a bunch of leftists wrote in Hillary Clinton, so the libs will blame people who voted for Hillary for Trump winning.
Well then by the sound of it I think Brandon's gonna fuckin lose rob
Yeesh. Libs are going to be ugly for at least the next 11 months. What will they say if Trump wins?
Since I've been back home for Thanksgiving break, I've had in depth conversations with four Arab relatives and family friends. All four have said they won't vote for Biden in 2024. They insist they will abstain, even if it ends up benefitting Trump.
Then they'll end up in camps or being deported. I guess that's real solidarity with Gaza.
She has a Wikipedia page
Rachel Bitecofer (born February 23, 1977) is an American political scientist.
And she'll sit by and cluck her tongue about how they should've voted different as they're loaded into the camps
You know, instead of actually doing something about it
A real, "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos" moment
Rachel is doing political astrology

These same people unironically believe they live in a democracy
If a vote for every other party enables fascism, then why not just ban every other party and institute a one-party blue government instead of wasting time, money, and energy on this circus every 2-4 years?
NOOOO ITS NOT DEMOCRATIC!!!
And apparently neither is voting for anybody else so…

yes, voting for a third party is like voting for trump, too. in fact, it's practically 2 votes for the price of one. if you love democracy then you'll do it. only a fascist would relinquish their extra vote. biden is half the value
these dumb voooters aren't even voooot-maxxxing properly
I say with no no hyperbole that may honestly be one of the saddest tweets I have ever read.
That's a reply to the following George Takei tweet. Takei's tweet is artful where Reiner's is crude and annoying but it's still a lecture on how we must vote for the democrats.
A Democrat was in the White House when my family was sent to the internment camps in 1941. It was an egregious violation of our human and civil rights.
It would have been understandable if people like me said they'd never vote for a Democrat again, given what had been done to us.
But being a liberal, being a progressive, means being able to look past my own grievances and concerns and think of the greater good. It means working from within the Democratic party to make it better, even when it has betrayed its values.
I went on to campaign for Adlai Stevenson when I became an adult. I marched for civil rights and had the honor of meeting Dr. Martin Luther King. I fought for redress for my community and have spent my life ensuring that America understood that we could not betray our Constitution in such a way ever again.
Bill Clinton broke my heart when he signed DOMA into law. It was a slap in the face to the LGBTQ community. And I knew that we still had much work to do. But I voted for him again in 1996 despite my misgivings, because the alternative was far worse. And my obligation as a citizen was to help choose the best leader for it, not to check out by not voting out of anger or protest.
There is no leader who will make the decision you want her or him to make 100 percent of the time. Your vote is a tool of hope for a better world. Use it wisely, for it is precious. Use it for others, for they are in need of your support, too.
In the adage the trees only voted for the axe.
Looks like these days the trees are even writing eulogy to the axe while they vote for it.
No vote? You best believe thats a vote for Trump 
If you count all the trump votes, plus the 3rd party votes, plus the non-voters, it sounds like trump is on track for about 75%
And I'm supposed to help legitimize this sham with my participation? No thanks, Rob.
Liberals will say this, absolutely convince you that there is no choice, and then tell you it's democratic.
our democracy is at stake! vote blue or we may never vote again!
Democracy: Where every few years we get to vote for 100% of what the GOP wants or 80% of what the GOP wants.
Please tell me that in some of the coastal cities local politics are at least marginally better.

A vote for Biden is a vote for trump
I wonder how many people/"libs" will end up taking these moments to think about what even is "democracy" and "freedom" (rather than some vague vibe based ideas) means after reading something like that...
In Foreign country you can only vote for one of two candidates, and if you vote for someone else it's a vote for the oranger of the two men 
I'm picturing him saying this but in a angry voice to Carol O'Connor. After which Jean Stapleton says she's not voting for Trump then because he didn't mention de la Cruz.
Then the laugh track plays.
The bad thing is that I can imagine him saying it in hectoring tone on Real Time this Friday. With an addition in the beginning of "Look..."
The funny thing is - cough, cough - if you could change the past and have Meathead say it in the 1970s - the tv audience would get mad. CBS would get a flood of telephone calls and letters (I almost wrote "emails") - complaining that voting for who you want is the American way and it's how democracy works! Of course - way back then the democrats didn't give a fuck because the number wasn't important at all.
In the 1990s - I hardly paid attention to politics at all but I don't remember tedious lib lecturing about how people must vote. They're beyond annoying now.
Maybe it'll come back to bite them some day when after crying wolf so many times to keep the status quo going, their electoral support just collapses. Like out of nowhere. And no matter how many times they scream on all the media platforms they control, they are ignored. On the other hand, they could always give that notion a fresh lease on life by trying to convince the next cohort of young people that "this is the most important election since the last one." But maybe that might even lose its juice, especially if an alternative political force is built to finally break the cycle of vote-scolding.
Are the votes for Trump in the room right now?
Oh, shit!
The use of leverage requires a certain amount of willingess to accept negative outcomes if things go bad. That's the risk you take with these things

If Donald is so dangerous why don’t you just removed him
Is this like an Isaac Asimov fallacy or something? 
Every not for Trump conflicts with the first 4 Laws.
A vote for Trump is a vote for Biden
Today I committed voter fraud by not voting Biden a million times, and thus voting Trump a million times....
I remember a Hexbear made a joke like that around here....
First year I'll leave the president one completely blank and just vote on propositions and maybe to stop any local psychos from getting in

One of the funniest things about Trump losing in 2020 was watching chuds blame libertarians in the same way that libs blame leftists whenever a Democrat loses.
A vote for the libertarian candidate is a vote for Biden.
