What are the only 2 possible outcomes for the election?
I know who is running for president. What is the strategy that voters should follow to get their preferred candidate elected?
Its not about getting their preferred candidate elected. There are 2 outcomes and one is decidedly worse than the other. Do you agree?
Oh, no. I mean, if that were true, that one outcome is decidedly worse than the other, how would it even be a contest? In any case, I don’t understand how any of this is strategic.
how would it even be a contest
Because there are swaths of selfish people out there.
Sounds like you might be one of them.
The strategy is pretty obviously to vote and advocate against the worse option.

That is just voting and having an opinion, not really a strategy. What is the incumbent campaign’s strategy for reelection? Are they just hoping that enough voters will see it your way (I presume), in spite of supporting the genocide as well as the policies that more or less haven’t changed since the previous administration?

Anyone whose “opinion” is that Trump would be fine, is to be shamed. Plain and simple.
So then the strategy is to shame anyone who isn’t fervently anti-Trump into changing their mind? How is that supposed to work given the Trump era policies that are still in place or the incumbent administration’s material and rhetorical support for the Israeli’s genocidal persecution of the Palestinians? If people want to avoid shame, then not voting for either of the contenders, or at all, seems like the best move for them.
If you’re not already fervently anti-trump, you’re a lost cause.
