    Nah see I am playing 3-d chess. By not voting for Trump, it is the same as voting for Biden.

    I learned that from all the democrats on lemmy.

      It is a half vote for each, then,

      Just ask yourself, would you rather 4 more years of Biden or Trump? That is the only important question.

        I’ve already asked myself these questions.

        About twenty years ago I made the hard decision to never vote for a self identifying neoliberal president. I made this decision after reading years of articles proving that neoliberal economic policies not only don’t work, but make the problems worse. I did vote for Obama so I guess it’s technically been less than 20 years. When the DNC decided and argued in court they are not beholden to voters, nor are they required to follow their own established rules, that’s what finally gave me the courage to stand by my conviction on this issue.

        I vote every election, every year and every primary.

        Thankfully I live in a state that was purple but has since gone blue. Biden will get our electoral points for my state I am hopeful. But I’m not going to bubble in either Biden nor Trump.

        If you feel your decision is the answer to what you believe is the only important question, then vote for who you feel that you must. I do see your point. But I believe there are more important questions that I regularly ask myself and base who I vote for on that.
