Voting the lesser of two evils shows just those running that being evil does not bar them from getting votes. Sure it might get you less evil comparatively, but you are still increasing the amount of evil in office.
I’m sorry, it just seems a bit immature to see two options, one clearly worse than the other, and to refuse to choose the less bad one just because you’d have preferred different options.
Throwing away the pencil doesn’t affect the outcome. All that you prove is that left wing people don’t vote.
I am fine with being thought of as immature for refusing to vote for a man who is actively funding and supporting a genocide. Sure, Biden is “less bad” than Trump, that goes without saying, but are we really settling on “less bad than Trump” as our only qualification to be eligible for the President of the United States? Especially in the case of, again, ACTIVELY FUNDING AND SUPPORTING A GENOCIDE? So go ahead and think of me as immature, but I won’t be the one with the blood of the Palestinians on my hands, that will be all those who decide that “less bad” is good enough for them.
Also, who said anything about not voting? I will be proudly be voting for Claudia De la Cruz, an actual leftist candidate who coincidentally is actively campaigning against the ongoing genocide. If the Democrats want to have leftists vote for them, maybe they should stop running right wing (which Biden and the Democrats actually are thanks to our outrageously shifted Overton Window) candidates and platforms.
There isn’t only 2 options. There are 3rd parties to support. If the dems or Republicans lose enough elections, they will shift policy in the direction the votes are going if they ever care to win another election.
Expecting either party to solve the problems they cause is foolish. Ranked choice voting will never get pushed by them. I live in GA, the state reps are about to outlaw ranked choice. What solutions do you think can be provided to people living here 364 days a year? Move to the middle of nowhere and try to build a grassroots movement with a bunch of inbred Maga kool-aid chugging fools?
Voting the lesser of two evils has arrived us at our current situation. It is not a solution.
Voting the lesser of two evils gets you less evil. The problem is the system that offers you two evils to vote for. 364 days a year to work on that.

And if I had wheels I’d be a wagon.
