Even with muted microphones to reduce interruptions, your Thursday evening is best spent on something else. Why -- especially if you have already voted, certainly if your mind is made up -- would you watch Act II of this shitshow?
Do you need more stress in your life? Is the current amount of drama and tension simply not enough? Are you addicted to the anger instigated within you by Trump's repetitive displays of malignant narcissism and megalomania? Do you cringe every time Biden opens his mouth, hoping he won't say something nonsensical, or stupid, or sexist, or racist? Are you still functioning under the delusion that one of these two Alzheimer's-riddled rapists will actually do something for you, your family, your healthcare, the planet?
You're not Sam Goldwyn (or Western Union, for that matter).
Elect Biden and then push him left, you say? Lots of very prominent leftists -- people I have respect and admiration for -- are recommending that route: Bernie Sanders, of course; Cornel West, Noam Chomsky, AOC, Angela Davis, John Cusack, and a number of fairly prominent DSA members.
I feel pity for them for having given in to fear and loathing.
Hows that "move him left" thing working so far? https://t.co/2mARxAjlUS

"Okay, PDid. How about a little less snark and a little more logic, please?"
Most US progressives (A) say it's wrong to vote third party this election, (B) acknowledge that a two-party system which always creates a choice between two corrupt warmongers is wrong, and (C) will do absolutely nothing to try and end that two-party system after this election.

A Green vote counts to demand a Green agenda, instead of being erased by the electoral college. Basic income, healthcare, & peace so we can focus on climate transition. Strengthen ballot access & hit 5% for federal funding & increased viability. Voting Green builds an alternative

If you are planning to sit out this election, here’s why you should consider voting Green Party instead.

To everyone who is deciding to vote for Biden, I understand how you've come to that decision.

But I have to ask something.
Do you think in the long run this will work? Continuing to vote for whoever the Dems force on us every four years? Especially if it's a corporate Dem?

Sorry. That little snarky cartoon just slipped out.
I'm in complete agreement with those who believe that the Republican Party as currently composed must suffer a stinging rebuke at the polls. They all must be denied access to the levers of power for a period of time long enough to modulate themselves into something more reasonable.

How DARE all of you not cheer Joe Biden getting ready to appoint a Republican cabinet! When you don’t support Joe, you’re helping Republicans! And that is HIS job, people, not yours!
— Jack'sHouseOfPancakes (@RegimeChangeInc) October 20, 2020
So since old Joe has this one in the bag ... maybe consider voting for something you want, and not against something you don't. Vote in favor of someone, not against someone else. Most importantly, vote the policies you would like to see enacted, and not just the identity/gender/color/religion, or the sassy debate responses, of the person. 'Not Trump' is not a policy.
I voted for my hopes, not my fears.

I voted for the planet, not Wall Street.
I voted for eco-socialism, not predatory capitalism.
I voted for @HowieHawkins and @AngelaNWalker.
I voted against the failed two-party system & I’ve never felt freer in my life.#BreakTheDuopoly pic.twitter.com/EBbqZY7CRI

Trump and Biden do anything they can to avoid talking about policy. That's because they don't supporters popular policies like the #GreenNewDeal or #MedicareForAll. #NeverSettle Vote your values. Vote #Hawkins/Walker
