Sam Smith - Voting for a third party presidential candidate or staying home on election day for supposedly moral reasons is more narcissistic than virtuous. You are actually hurting the cause you profess to support.
Remember that change is created between elections. Elections are merely scorecards of what has happened since the last vote.
Vote for Biden, and if he is elected, start working on the change that will change the next election.

yes. and eventually that will work.
I live in a deep blue state where Biden is already polling at 60%. There is no way in hell that Biden will lose my state, so I am voting Green. A little progressive opposition lets the DNC know they haven't made all progressives kowtow. Do I think it will sway Biden? No. I think most of his decisions are made by people around him, like Larry Summers.
If I lived in a swing state I might feel differently, but thanks to the electoral college, voting for president is a joke in non swing states, because they are already counted as red or blue before the primaries get started.
The reason I am bothering to vote at all, is for state ballot measures and local politicians, because there my vote actually counts.
