So you prefer the other guy?
I prefer Biden to get out of the race so someone who doesn't support genocide can step in and beat Trump. But apparently that option doesn't exist in the sick, twisted little testicle you call a brain.
No, that option doesn't exist in reality.
Voting is but one of many political actions you can take, and you're right that voting can no longer lead to any meaningful positive change, but it can stop things from getting worse too quickly.
Real progressive change will require external pressure via direct action / protests / civil disobedience / alternative institutions like unions and mutual aid. If you're upset with the state of things then participate in some of those things, but do not withhold your vote. Voting for Dems may play into their too idle hands, but choosing not to plays into the hands of the fascists trying to destroy our democracy.
Wow you seem nice. Seems a shame to block you.
Oh no! I'm sure I'll miss your inane false dichotomy,
