Here’s one. It took me longer to type the search query than to find a relevant article from the search results.

Muslim Americans said they did not expect former President Donald Trump to treat their community any better if re-elected, but saw denying Biden votes as their only means to shape US policy.

“We’re not supporting Trump,” he said, adding the Muslim community would decide how to interview other candidates.

For the primary, sure that makes sense to try and enact change, but in the general election a vote for anyone other than Biden is the same as a vote for Trump.

I wanted to remain neutral when linking the article, but that’s my take as well.

While I hate that people weaponize the saying “voting for an independent party is throwing away your vote” as a way to pressure others into voting for their preferred party, the logic behind it is not wrong. It would take a substantial amount of organization and commitment to make a third party viable. Considering that, any vote that isn’t for Biden is effectively a vote for Trump.
