I'm curious if the "not voting in America is 'voting for Trump'" people ever thanked the non-voters for their support of Biden in 2020?

If "not voting in America is 'voting for Trump'", is true, then "not voting in 2020 America is 'voting for Biden'", right?

Accepting that "if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander" would require them not to be hypocrites.

Thank them? Why would we thank them for doing less than the bare minimum just because it's in our favor?

I felt it was pretty clear but...
If you think that not voting in the last election means that they voted for Trump, then logically it stands that not voting in the election before that means that they voted for Biden.

I'm simply pointing out how people who make that argument only like it when the argument is used in their favor, but they don't actually believe it.

Yes. And?

Fucking what.

The bare minimum is doing nothing and they did that this time. There is no requirement to vote.

I somehow fucking doubt you would be saying that if it was an anti-Israel candidate running.

Your principles amount to campism, and not much more.
