In effect, Mr. Trump’s candidacy is becoming a referendum on what kind of justice system the country believes it has now and wants to have in the future

Not American either, but the situation looking from the outside is pretty horrendous. The solution is not to vote for him, or to turn out in such numbers that it would be impossible for him to get in.
Here's the rub, about fifty percent of your voters either want him, or don't care enough either way.
So many millions of your people are toying with the idea of soaking yourselves in fuel and flicking a match.
You actually have the solution - get out and vote and get your families and friends out too, or suffer the consequences.
It’s less than 50%. The problem is there’s no stopping Trump supporters from voting in November.
Democrats historically only show up to vote in favor of a candidate, not in resistance to their opponent. It’s unbelievable how many people see voting as showing full support of a candidate’s policy, when it’s simply the most effective way for a citizen to strategically influence the nation.
“I can’t support anyone who supports genocide” is justification to stand aside and allow far more genocide of Ukrainians and Palestinians. The Palestinians’ options at the polls are currently bad or worse. Abstaining is allowing others to choose worse without your resistance.
Republicans are counting on the indifference of the left.
Inaction is action. Vote in November.
And since the Trump fans are talking about election fraud they will probably try to vote early and vote often.
That's voter fraud, and not something anyone in the know legitimately worries about.
Voter suppression is a way easier method to change elections and harder to prove.
That is the problem - his real vote is less than a winning vote, but he still may win. Not enough people care to stop him, including the voters (and non-voters) who don't want him.
It is a problem easily fixed and most Americans act like helpless spectators.
That's ok, join the rest of the world as we jointly watch it all unfold.
We'll get as many as possible to vote. It almost seems unfair that others in the world don't get a say in such an important election, since Biden winning could save the world from another world war. The stakes are once again, very high.
That is an interesting suggestion, and has been made many times before. Australia (for instance) is pretty much handcuffed to the US. Ever since WW2 we have been in lockstep with you guys. Every damn war and conflict. It would be nice to have a small say in who drags is into war that we never ask for.
But still, we do it to ourselves. Other countries don't.
