    Why b-1 instead of just b votes? “because the vote could’ve otherwise went to B” well it could’ve also went to T, but I don’t see you accounting for it as t-1.

    This math has a double standard.

        they are also clearly not a Biden supporter. They do not support either candidate, so the two options should be treated equally.

          This is that “enlightened centrism” false equivalence.

          I honestly can’t believe that in good faith you can compare Biden and Trump as equals.

          One is a president whos platform is making minimal change.

          The other is a president whos platform is to tear down democracy and human rights.

          If you honestly can look at these two and say they are equal than I have to conclude you are at least indifferent to maintaining democracy and human rights.

          I know the “counter argument” is about Biden and Israel/Gaza, but the thing is, that’s not really up for debate because I don’t believe there’s any chance Trump would be better about Gaza.

          There are 2 options:

          • death in Gaza and status quo in the US
          • death in Gaza and loss of human rights and possibly our democracy in the US
