There's no such thing as the perfect candidate so voting for the person you hate the least is the best option for preventing the person you hate the most from winning.

I'm not a fan of Biden but he's way fucking better than trump and his fellow Republicans.

    No. I'm not going to continue to reward moderates and liberals for being inflexible. If they're not willing to do it now they're never going to be and fascism isn't just a possibility it's a guarantee. Let's get it overwith.

    And by not voting you're ensuring that positive change will have a much harder time occuring.

    Local elections are very important and pushing for more progressive local candidates can help to influence policies on the national stage. And if there's no candidates you like in your locality you can try to run yourself.

    There's more elections than just the election for president.

    Liberals and moderates by not materially compromising with leftists and progressives are ensuring that positive change has and will continue to have a much harder time occurring.

    Your judgement cuts both ways you know.

    They are way more likely to do so than Republicans that's for sure

    All you have to do is look at voting records to see that

    All you have to do is see the break down for who voted for the Respect for Marriage Act for an easy example

    Give me an example of liberals and moderates making a material compromise with leftists and progressives during Biden's term. Show me any time they have sacrificed a policy position in order to get the votes of progressives and leftists.
