    This is a needlessly antagonistic reply. The dude you’re replying to in no way said they aren’t voting for Biden, they just said they’d appreciate seeing the data on why Biden isn’t doing more to court progressives.

    I’m voting for Biden and I’d love the same? That doesn’t make me a shithead.

      I appreciate you.

      To be fair, Joe is 1000% safe in my state, so I’ll likely vote 3rd party, but if you’re in one of the states that actually matters then I fully support voting against Trump (for Biden). I’ll also vote Democrat pretty much all the way down the rest of the ballot, which I’d argue is even more important than voting for Joe.

        Protest votes should only be cast in a primary. I live in California and it is obviously going for Biden but I will still bit for Biden as I do not want to assume anything for such an important election.

      Yeah but you didn’t have the common decency to throw a Genocide Joe in there or mention something about our colonialistic ways. Obviously you’re only here to discuss things with reason and allow for the proper give-and-take that requires. Which is outrageous, and I won’t stand for it.

      (But srs the metrics involved are sort of impossible to get, particularly this late in the cycle, and there’s a bunch of deep-diving involved to understand how they play out.)
