    Sure, but you aren’t going to like it:

    Don’t vote for him. (And don’t vote for the orange dotard either.)

      Is there any third option in the ballot? Not voting is as good as voting anyone you think is worse

        Not meaningfully in a first past the post vote. Ranked choice or some other alternative, then sure…

        Jill Stein is running, but there are going to be a lot of states where her name won’t make it onto the ballot, although she can be written in.

        I’m thankful to have ranked choice voting in my state. Every state should push for it as much as possible. Generally, the people who are against RCV are the ones who benefit from restricting the will and voting power of the voters.

        Usually people advocating not to vote for Biden are advocating for voting for PSL or another third party, not abstaining.

      When has withholding your vote brought about a positive change? It’s not like a boycott because there no financial incentive.

      The only metric that matters when voting is what percentage of active votes chose you, inactive voters have chosen to silence themselves.

        Bold assumption about not voting, this isn’t what I’m advocating at all. I think it’s important to vote in every race you can, even in such a corrupt and fundamentally broken system as ours.

        I’m saying don’t vote for Hitler, and also don’t vote for 99% Hitler.

          Ah, you’re privileged enough to think you’re insulated from any actual consequences of the election and fuck those other people, right?

          Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool…
