    If you want to vote against Biden do it between February and June during the primarys. Primary races are the time to vote with your heart find your dream candidate and go for it. In November you have 2 choices.

        Unfortunately, due to the systems we have in place, anything past the first to amounts to being a conscientious objector. Which generally just means the greater of two evils has a greater chance of succeeding.

        Edited for sanity.

        Nope 2 choices “DEM vs NOT DEM” or “GOP vs NOT GOP” America has a first past the post voting system it looks like an election between candidates but it’s effectively each candidate versus the 50% threshold.

          There’s not even a 50% threshold, it’s just whoever receives the most ballots cast. They might win with only 10% of eligible voters in a state, as long they have at least 1 more vote than anyone else on the ballot.

      You mean, like the primaries that dems are purposely not holding because the feckless are afraid of actual progressives?

      Like, the primaries that are supposed to be going on… now?

        That was the candidate’s fault in Tennessee & Florida. Better to for the world to know they are morons now instead of always wondering. Candidates like that shouldn’t be near power.
