I’ve frequently seen this claim, and similar ones, but it doesn’t really make sense. If not voting for Biden or not voting at all is actually a vote for Trump then his votes outnumber Biden’s by a landslide since ~80 million people don’t vote. So, by this logic, Trump should win and it shouldn’t even be close.

I think most folks can deduce that the intended meaning is that not voting for Biden is a choice that makes it more likely that Trump will win.

Nobody is believing that not voting results in a filled out ballot for trump magically appearing.
