When there are people that are still voting, even if it’s not for Biden, I disagree with it, but only politely. It’s still your right as American.

But that isn’t the message going out in so many of these memes. Barely any content encourages any specific candidate, and evokes ridiculous concepts like “A vote for Biden is a vote for genocide” - without putting forward an alt candidate that has a genuine plan to prevent genocide (obviously, Trump is not one).

The reason I’m fine with generally just ensuring people vote, whoever it’s for, is because statistically Democrats win elections that more people vote for. I have faith that genuine, fair popularity contests will go my way.
