   Someone said it's important say this publicly in the US: so I will. (And I think each of us should, online and to friends)

   This November *I* will vote for Biden.

   I would regard not voting for Biden, particularly in: PA, OH, MI, WI, IN, IL,VA, GA, FL, AZ, ME, NC, NH, etc. as a huge error. I'd be disappointed to find out anyone I knew didn't vote. It's one of a long list of things we need to do. We can't skip it.

   And still? We deserve better choices, and in the future we shall have them.

     Completely agree. We need more choice.

     I'm a Canadian, so my opinion has no real bearing on this. Take this with a brick of salt.

     Not voting for Biden (who I greatly dislike) would be cutting one's wrists to spite their face. The US has a two party system masquerading as an open field democracy. It is either Democrat or Republican. No third party has any chance of claiming the presidency *at this moment in time*. Maybe when the Republican party finally implodes, you might get a better alternative. But as things stand at this moment in time, voting for Biden is your populace's only chance of survival.

     As I said, this is just my outsider opinion.

     @FlashMobOfOne @futurebird @ServerWrestler @Jorsh Has it occurred to you that the Green Party runs almost zero candidates for state and local elections? There is no Green Party minor league where up-and-coming young pols can cut their teeth.

     Did you ever wonder why they spend the millions of dollars they raise on hopeless vanity campaigns for president instead of building a national political movement state by state?
