I mean I'm gonna vote green because I live in DC where there are more communists and LGBTQ+ folks than Trump supporters but I probably wouldn't have if I lived in Arizona or Michigan.

P.S.: Same goes for Democrat vs Republican in Senate, House, etc. elections.

I will protest Biden inauguration if he's elected, but I would vote for him if I lived in a swing state.

    well i liked this answer. As a black gay man, I believe there are some significant proposals that Biden would push to silve systemic issues in the black community (mainly urbanization and immigration proposals, equality rights act, etc.) I understand that he won't and we will still suffer from this shithole of a country.

    What should be the bound between two candidates to vote for "the lesser if two evils" in your opinion, especially in a first past the vote system?

      Well I hate to be patronizing and condescending but you should check out what Biden helped accomplish for black people under Obama. I think it's naive to only go off his proposed platform rather than the actions of his career. You even say that you understand he won't do that stuff, which is bizarre. So why support him?

      You don't have to vote for the lesser of two evils, you don't have to vote at all. You can just not vote. Voting doesn't make you a good person. Not voting doesn't make you a bad person. You don't have to worry at all about this election. If Joe Biden loses it is Joe Biden and the DNC's fault. Not the fault of people who didn't vote. Though they're going to tell you that's who to blame. They are the ones who failed to provide a compelling reason to vote. "We're not Republicans" is not a compelling reason. "But think of the POCs" is not a valid rebuttal to that. Biden is part of the reason Trump is able to do so much harm to POCs. It's already done. There is no debate about what will be. If Trump turns into Hitler next year and shoots me in the fucking head for being a leftist, it's because Joe Biden and the DNC built the gun and put it in his hand.

      Can you expand on those? I read all the plans on his website and i didn't see any concrete plans in any of those, and i'm wondering if i missed anything.

      For example, his proposals for farmer aid are longer and more concrete than his proposals for urban communities, which makes me think his idea of "urbanization aid" is the same as Pete Buttigieg's.
