Not in a two party system like the United States have. You can only choose the less terrible option, because doing anything else is only helping the really bad choice.
If our system requires us to vote for genocide, then doesn’t that mean our system needs to be repealed and replaced with a new system that does not require such evil?
I have no stake in American politics, just observing from the outside. But yes you’d probably need a massive systemic reform, but that will not happen because half your population is against any reason or rationality categorically opposed to whatever the progressive side wants. That, and the entrenched billionaires who would probably assassinate political leaders seeking actual change.
I certainly agree, I just don’t think that not electing biden, when the only other realistic outcome is trump, is the way to start that process. This needs a lot of grassroots work, probably including bringing over progressive democrats into a new progressive party which could be an actual player during the next election.

Agreed. But does that mean that such a reform should not even be pursued?
