      If you aren’t aware then shut the fuck up. The Democrats are more unhinged than they’ve ever been because even the incredibly milque-toast socdem alternative was beaten with a stick and then paraded around on an apology tour. The train has no brakes, stop telling us that if we change the conductor it will matter.

      The Dem’s “pied piper” strategy is responsible for Trump’s first term. Yeah, sure it “paid off” by ratcheting up the extremism from that party’s candidates at every level every cycle, while the empire collapses, guaranteeing they’ll eventually ascend to power over us…

      Trump is not the only issue, when trump dies there will be some other facist to take his place. and while I see your point, and understand where you are coming from, where I am sitting, the “delay” path is not a significant delay, as I said I see 2 years, and the question I have to ask myself is “Can we develop significant class contiousness or change within the 2 years to make a difrence” and from what I am seeing the answer is no, So my next question is, can I reward the Dems for there reckless behavior, and I also do not know if I can, they are coercing my vote, by the exclusive fact the other side is SO BAD, dispite the fact that materialy they are not much better. Matters get worse when you take into accound that a study out of prinston shows that my vote, or the outcome of all the votes and the want of all americans, does not effect the direction of the country, OR the fact that even though Biden is, almost certanly going to win the majority of the votes cast on election day thanks to the electoral collage it is going to be incredably close.

      So really we dont have a harm reduction canidate, we dont have a lesser evil canidate (who may I point out means you are still voting for evil), there is no choice to make, assuming you are picking one of the 2 big ones that is a moral choice. There is no tactical choice, as I had said earlier, the only real difrence between them is retoric. Biden sounds nicer, he is not, but he sounds it.
