We are losing the courts. Here are some things that seem likely to happen if we have four more years of Trump appointed federal judges (including likely another 2 Supreme Court seats at least), which may help you justify a vote for Biden/Harris.
Overturning of Roe v. Wade or at least the upholding of so many targeted restrictions of abortion providers that the right is completely unavailable to most people (particularly poor people).
The creation of a constitutional right to not share space with trans people - this would erode and invalidate state, local and federal protections - and the validation of laws criminalizing health care of trans people.
The establishment of a First Amendment right to discriminate based on religion or morality thus eroding civil rights laws for everyone.
Further erosion of voting rights including upholding of laws intended to restrict access to the ballot including gerrymandered districts, lifetime voting bans based on criminal history, voter ID laws, and denial of absentee voting and same-day registration.
The maintenance of the death penalty and qualified immunity facilitating the state sanctioned murder of Black and Brown people and everyone subject to carceral control.
The expansion of militarized borders and the widespread denial of forms of immigration relief. More Muslim bans, asylum bans, family separations.
The wholesale evisceration of all public programs.
The expansion of state and private surveillance with no checks.
