So. I have to break more bad news to you...Santa Claus isn't real. Hard truths can be unpleasant to contemplate but then ignoring hard truths seldom works out well either. It's possible that you live in a strongly "red" or "blue" state and your vote is irrelevant, but then you could still work to elect the better candidate in a neighboring state. If you have no idea what Biden will do in office then of course you aren't paying attention. You don't know for certain how a candidate will act when in office, but as I pointed out, there are good clues.

So, if you like a federal judiciary and SCOTUS that opposes worker's rights, gender equality, environmental protection, climate change action, voting rights, gun control, then by all means, sit this one out. If you prefer putting kids in cages, building stupid and destructive border walls, paying already rich CEOS to cut workers and worker wages, establishing fundamental Christianity in public schools, supporting and enhancing institutional racism then stick to your "principles" and help Trump get re-elected. The choice is an adult choice and it is yours.
