I've got multiple white queer friends who are staunchly "vote blue no matter who" and dissolve into a trembling breakdown whenever they're asked about it, talking about how if republicans win the world is going to end etc. Like, full on angry-crying wojak, talking about third-party voting being a waste, Project 2025, etc. Coincidentally, these friends hardly ever engage with activism.
How do you choose to engage with these kinds of people? What's the general opinion on the vote in leftist circles, considering so many are refusing to vote for Biden (just checking the water temp since I've been largely offline save for activism and work lately)?
I've been away from Hexbear for a minute, apologies if this has been discussed!
Edit: Really appreciating all the replies! Really glad I can reliably come here for good discussions. Thanks everyone 
Slash gen., in case it's needed.
It's not like I want Trump to win; I'm not mad at people voting for Biden because they're scared of Trump. Not voting for the "harm-reduction candidate" is an act of desperation in practical terms. It is trying to signal to an entity that doesn't care to hear it that what they're doing is so terrible I won't participate in their political project in even the barest terms. I can't really blame people who think, maybe correctly, that there is still a worse alternative for them personally.
But I won't brook people shaming me for choosing not to participate.
