I am 1,000% going to vote for the Democratic nominee in November, because I don’t want the world to end. I just want to make that clear because I know some people may be rightly suspicious of this type of post, for oh you know the reasons.

But after reading this excellent Ezra Klein editorial and watching the better-than-excellent Jon Stewart show on the topic, I’m actually somewhat convinced that maybe another nominee would be better. Like Klein I think Biden’s done a fantastic job so far. Just, someone else might do better in the election, and beating Trump in the election is pretty important.

So, what can I do? I’m about to vote in the Democratic primary, but his two primary challengers don’t seem likely to spark victory either in the primary or the general. Voting for them seems unlikely to change anything. And I am nobody of importance to call up the DNC and tell them to put up another candidate.

So what can I do? Is there anyone else who feels this way?

    Vote for Biden anyway. The magas won’t change their vote, so splitting it on your side doesn’t help.

    It’s not the system we want, but it’s the system we have.
