I want you to understand the reality of what you’re saying. In this hypothetical scenario, the two options for president are A) a genocidal maniac who will kill 6 million people, or B) a genocidal maniac who will kill those 6 million people, and also another million on top. If you don’t vote, then B wins, and 7 million die.
Do you genuinely believe that not voting and allowing a further million people to die is the morally superior position? This isn’t even a trolley problem, where your vote changes the people who die from group 1 to group 2. This is like a version of the trolly problem where the trolley is hurtling towards everyone and you can pull the lever to make it avoid some of them. Even a deontologist should agree that pulling the lever to help save some people is a moral necessity.
If your position is that you want someone else entirely, then you need to spend the other 1460 days between elections campaigning for that change. But this year, the choice is between A and B. On November 5th, you decide whether to pull that lever and save some people, or abstain and let them die.
Trump would have gassed 7 million Jews which means Hitler was a pretty good guy
Nobody here is saying Biden is a good guy.
