I am so so divided on if I should vote for biden or not. I wanna vote third party to at least do something or should I just stay home and protest and advocate where I can? Thoughts?

    Yeah, and when we tried that with Bernie they destroyed the Iowa caucus with the Shadow App. Then they handed it to a nobody like Pete.

    When Bernie kept winning the other early states, all the other candidates dropped out to form Voltron with Biden as the head and Warren to stay in as a spoiler to stop Bernie. Obama called up the also-rans and guaranteed them positions in the administration.

    The Primary has too little electoral oversight and too much Party meddling. We have no leverage there.

      I voted for Bernie after he lost because it meant his supporters were still there to help influence policy.

      And it isn’t like voting keeps you from other firmst of political organization and action. It is just low hanging fruit you can do along with other actions.

        I’m going to vote down ticket for legislators and city council and such, I’m just not voting for Biden without a ceasefire.

        If my vote is guaranteed then I have no leverage. They can just ignore me forever because I’m already locked in.
