Firstly, you don't need to convince me who to vote for, because I legally cannot vote. But here's a different perspective.
The US is not a democracy. There aren't any options in the 2024 Election. There is a single candidate (Biden) or a threat of harm (Trump). Telling people they must vote for Biden no matter what, or they get Trump, is no different than telling them they must vote for Putin or their loved ones could fall out a window.
The 2024 election isn't about saving democracy. Democracy died the second you normalized it not being ok to vote 3rd party, or withhold your vote in protest. When you are going around arguing Biden shouldn't have to earn votes, he must win by default, you've done the one thing Trump could never do: you've killed Democracy.
