I am talking about all elections. My state is voting Trump with out a doubt, but it wont stop me from voting. And who knows? Maybe another epidemic will hit that republicans will ignore and my state might end up blue?

My state is ruby red and even the fairly large city I live in is red. Begging people to vote specifically for biden in situations like ours only makes people more apathetic since they know Biden has no shot. But if you tell people how to be more politically involved outside of voting, they'll be more empowered to want to vote just so they can get people more aligned with them in their local and state elections. It's the state government in red states like ours that will enact awful policies that we will actually feel. Pushing an unpopular president as the main reason to show up to the booth will only make them stay home instead.

Tangential: Covid is still killing a ton of people every month (though it gets better in warmer weather). This past January had over 10k covid deaths that were largely ignored by Biden and pretty much everyone else who are desperate to show how "good" things are now. But also, I'd caution against being hopeful for another pandemic that would wipe out conservatives since it's tiptoeing on fascism, which you're trying to be distinctly different to, eh? If a huge portion of Americans are fascist, America will be a fascist nation. I've heard conservatives wish that CA would sink into the ocean and that NYC would get swept away from a hurricane and I hope to god we haven't ratcheted so far that now democrats are wishing and hoping for the deaths of their political enemy.
