Alright, fine. Turn the pressure up on Biden hoping he’ll shift positions before the election. Cool.
The thing is, even if he doesn’t shift, he’s still the best option. At the moment, Biden is sympathetic to a fascist foreign government, but he’s not trying to institute fascism in the US. Trump IS an outright fascist, and literally tried to overthrow the government. Biden is bad, but Trump is far worse, and unfortunately because of the way our election system works, any vote that isn’t for Biden is equivalent to a vote for Trump, including not voting at all.
It’s simple math. Ex: Biden has 5 votes, Trump has 6 votes, and 15 people didn’t vote at all. Of those 15, 4 are Republicans against Trump, 7 are leftists that think Biden is too right wing, and 4 are genuine fence sitters. The fence sitters split evenly, so 7 votes for Biden and 8 for Trump, the other 11 stay home. So in total you have 14 people who ostensibly are more left wing and 12 more right wing, so a left wing majority… but Trump the actual fascist right wing candidate wins.
You can argue all you want that Biden isn’t good enough for you, but the truth is Trump isn’t bad enough for you. If he was, you’d be willing to make compromises to prevent him regaining power.
