    then I’ve already lost the right to vote

    You have accurately described the situation.

    You do not have full freedom to choose any candidate you like. You can only choose Trump or Biden. A vote for anyone else will not have any effect. You’re free to vote for nobody, or not vote, but anybody who survived the first Trump presidency and isn’t willing to vote against him is either a racist or a moron.

      [anyone who]isn’t willing to vote against him is either a racist or a moron.

      The kind of person who reduces disagreements to simple black and white terms along with denigrating their opposition as “stupid or racist” isnt the kind of person who should imagine themselves smarter (as those two choices shut down thought) but they often are. These “loudest” people believe calling others dumb protects them from looking foolish themselves, somehow.

      They are mistaken
