To people voting for Biden, what will make you not vote for him in the general election? (hexbear.net)

I've noticed a lot of posts asking how we're going to vote, and people coming in trying to shame people for not voting for Biden, or any candidate in the general election at all.

So I'm curious and, asking in good faith, want to know - what will make you stop voting for Biden?

Some hope that doing something else has a chance of making something materially better for anyone in any way, even down the line. That’s all, just a glimmer of hope

It feels bad and I hate it but I do, in fact, have to hand it to Chomsky on this one

Please roast me, I need to feel something, anything

If you're listening to chomsky for electoral advice there's nothing we can inflict on you that you haven't already done to yourself.

I find his argument on this specific item convincing, but your broader point/burn is well-taken/accurate

Well, you have to make your own choices. No one can make them for you.
