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?

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.

I do vote for the demon rats every cycle but I'd never shame anyone for not having the stomach. I'm trolleyproblembrained.

When I consider the slim possibility that Biden could lose New York, and since I'm imagining myself as the magical swing state voter, I will begrudgingly vote for Biden instead of Marianne Williamson.

I'm not actually voting for him, it's just what I tell liberals now because I just don't believe there's any point in engaging anymore.

A republican candidate that won’t accelerate all the bad shit that has happened under Biden. He may be shit but Trump is a whole ass shitstorm. That said I live in a fairly safely blue state so I may end up voting third party.

Nothing, unless trump drops out.

He'd have to be worse than Trump which is basically impossible. I will not abstain, I will chose the leader I want or, barring that, the least worst option. Biden it is.

DNC Primary, if the coward Biden thinks his positions are defensible, and can stay up late enough for a few debates.
