    Most elections aren’t for the executive and down ballot elections, especially local elections, are extremely important. Additionally, if Jill Stein was primarying Biden it’d be extremely reasonable to vote for her there - I am really happy to uncommitted campaign happened and the results have clearly influenced Biden.

    When it comes to the general election though the scenario is different.

        I disagree. If Trump is elected we’ll see a further erosion of women’s health care access. In my opinion it’s immoral not to vote for Joe Biden because thousands of women will die if Trump wins.

        If your pride is worth those lives then you’re fucking delusional.

          it’s not about my pride, but if you found me suggesting it was, you’re fucking delusional.

          it’s about doing the right thing. it is wrong to vote for joe biden.

            It is incorrect to think that Biden is the best person to be president - but our electoral system is what it is and Biden is a clearly better choice than Trump.

            As I said earlier it’s A or B and one of those choices is fucking disastrous.

                That’s a very fair view, but one of those two people will be the next president. It’s up to you (and everyone else) which one of them it will be.

                  Oh, unless they die first. There’s actually a significant chance that natural causes eliminates one of those options first.

                  i won’t be responsible for you putting biden in place, just as i won’t be responsible if others put trump in place. but if your logic held up, and you knew you could not convince me to vote democrat, then you should be trying to convince all the democrats to vote for someone else who might be able to get my vote. and if you don’t vote with me then you are splitting the vote.
