I made the decision that I'm not voting for Biden a long time ago, but been getting a lot of grief from my liberal friends and family.

No, I don't agree with his policies. No, I don't agree with his track record. No, I don't think his "climate change plan" is convincing or nearly goes as far as is needed. No, I don't think Obama did a good job. Not on a boat, not on a train... this election crap is driving me insane.

Been getting iced out a lot because they're all like "but Biden needs overwhelming support to overcome Trump's blatant election f*ckery threats." How can you not do it? Then they look at me like I've been kicking puppies. Not my problem. He's not entitled to my vote as the "lesser of two evils."

And if there's going to be election shenanigans... what difference does voting even really make? Political referees will hop in and call a politics fowl? I don't think they're gonna handle me saying that electoral politics altogether is a waste of time too well.

Anyways, any advice how to handle without ruining relationships?

    If he just adopted M4A and Green New Deal most of the Bernie crowd would come around to him. But nope. They can't give us anything. They'd rather lose than give progressives even one piece of policy.

      Biden has a credibility problem, not a policy problem. Bernie has spent his whole career fighting for stuff like M4A, so it's easy to believe he will fight for it. Biden literally shat on Bernie just the other day. He could say he's going to nationalize the banks on Day 1, I still wouldn't believe him.
