All that sounds cute, but is still no excuse to simply vote Biden. If the choices in the ballot are “get killed” or “get raped”, the answer is not to welcome the rapist, but to vote third party (or blank/null) and to go sharpen your guillotines. Trump already demonstrated that he doesn’t respect democratic electoral statements anyway, and a 2-party system is rotten and ill-designed to the core, if he’s expected to win then playing fair and square in the hopes that you “only” get raped is self-defeating. Even if Biden wins, the RNC and the KKKronies are still going to (and are already doing so, see RvW) wipe their asses on democracy and condemn the US to accelerando the slow death.
You cannot expect to be well received when you choose an option more harmful to yourself and others and pretend it is rational. You could even vote Biden and still sharpen guillotines if that is your prerogative. Helping Trump win has no positive effects.
So when I don’t vote, and the revolution doesn’t spontaneously happen from nothing and my life, and many vulnerable people’s lives are made even worse. Then what? Sharpen harder? This is not the time to pick that fight because we have nothing to fucking gain from it and everything to lose.
