I’ve noticed a lot of posts asking how we’re going to vote, and people coming in trying to shame people for not voting for Biden, or any candidate in the general election at all.
So I’m curious and, asking in good faith, want to know - what will make you stop voting for Biden?
I would very much like to believe that anyone would take away the right lesson from that, but the “gosh, it seems the young people/Muslims/whomever are just too lazy to vote” articles are already written and cannot go to waste.
Seriously, though, this is the answer to the thread’s question: if there’s more value in a protest vote than a strategic vote in a swing state, that’s what changes my vote. Even if the only value is convincing a generation of political consultants that “supporting genocide is bad optics and a big oof”
If Biden gets WAY less votes than downballot Democrats he will be flagged as “underperforming” and will be blamed for “dragging the ticket” if those downballot Dems lose. So for an individual you can vote for the local candidates and leave President blank, do a write in, vote 3rd party, etc.
Then pundits will go “Why did Biden eat shit while Sally McDemface won this district that was red for the last 10 years?”
