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?

Biden having a worse policies against minorities than his Republican opponent, which is impossible.

Otherwise both parties are functionally the same. The system is designed to punish those who abstain, so voting for Biden is still our best shot to protect the minorities, all else being equal. Hopefully this can hold out until 2028 when AOC runs for president.

Isn't AOC pro-Israel here? She's been recuperated even more than Sanders, and Sanders won't even call for a ceasefire.

Sure, but in the absence of a revolutionary movement, AOC is still the best shot America has in terms of moving closer towards socialism. Please don’t tell me an AOC presidency is not at least 100 times better than the most “moderate” Republican candidate.
