True, Biden is beholden to elites but beside the point. The lesser evil is evil, but in this case, the greater evil is simply off the charts.
Trump’s re-election—with his climate policies, his nuclear weapons policies, his undermining of democracy and the courts, and his racism and sexism—would obstruct all positive social change.
Not voting for Biden in swing states won’t bring on a revolution, make anyone the slightest bit more progressive; but not voting for Biden in swing states risks immeasurably enlarging the obstacles that opposition will thereafter face.
Not voting in swing states sends in 2020 is that we are okay with Trump for four more years as long as we don’t have to sully our hands by voting for Biden.
It comes down to this. Dump Trump, Then Battle Biden. Vote for Biden at least in swing states—and urge others to do so as well.
