These are things you have to figure out on your own. No one has a magic answer for you. Your vote is up to you (unless you’re willing to vote for Trump*. That should be off the table for every thinking person at this point. Just a thought).
I’m a policy person. According to polls, many people don’t seem to realize they’re voting for people that don't support the policies they want and care about. This isn’t opinion, it’s just data. You policy positions are only yours to conclude.
That said, we are left with two choices, so being picky is not a reasonable stance. At a minimum, everyone feeling queasy should focus on harm reduction. I can’t stand the establishment, corporatist (actual people don’t even register with these new-liberal folks - I hurts me to cast a vote perpetuating this machine, but... Trump* is so much worse - it’s not even a contest. But I did have to work through my anger. If you need to do that, do it. Be mad, get it out of your system if you need to. I cannot handle more Trump*. My health has already suffered enough.
If you aren’t extremely rich, more Trump* will harm your life. Biden. won’t help much, but he will not destroy everything in his wake. He just won’t do much. It’ll be Obama-like with even less movement. Lousy, yes. So much better than the the violent child we have now - it’s not even debatable. Yes, I’m sad that I’m old and likely won5 see policies I care about in my lifetime.
Don’t rely on others to tell you what policies you should care about or what someone else thinks is good or bad about Biden. I share my opinions here and I would rather vote for someone better, but I can’t so who cares. Are you comfortable with what Trump* can do in another 4 years? Answer that and you’ll know who you’re vot8ng for.
Not voting increases the chances of increased harm. Hold your nose, vomit, do what you have to do to fill out a ballot (IN FULL - Learn who is running down ballot - they affect your life directly - and if there are props, learn about them too. They are often worded in such a way to be deliberately confusing, which is stupid. Be careful. But don’t leave them blank.
Taking care to vote on everything is the least each of us can do and if There is more than one democrat or more than one non-Republican for a certain race, please take a few minutes to do a little googling (not all Democrats are equal- some are on the progressive side, some are not. Vote for the one who shares your thinking and policy stances the most. Don’t rely on how they define themselves. If there is only one Democrat for a certain position - vote for that person - It’s important to vote against Republicans because they are cheating and are accepting interference from a foreign enemy to help them steal the election.
Vote for harm reduction if you’re finding it difficult. I get it. I didn’t want to vote at all initially.
But this is not the time for getting what I want. Okay, I move forward. It is the time to participate and contribute to evicting Trump. I can’t ignore my sense of responsibility. This is the most important act I feel I can do as a person, patriot and so I embrace voting for Biden.
See if you can find Biden’s speech from Wednesday. Cspan website has it. Watch it. Have a recent Trump* speech queued up - watch that immediately after.
1. Biden - Oh! A President!
2. Trump*... I - no. Absolutely no. The destruction in 3+ years - no. Evict.
The comparison is stark. If that’s not enough, learn what Trump* has in store for you. Hint - you will be harmed.
Not sure I helped you at all, but this has been my thought process.
Edit: Russia is actively interfering on Trump*s behalf - and Trump* is clearly receptive. Ironically, this helped me and my resolve. I realized there is absolutely nothing - I mean *nothing* that might come out about Biden - that would make me not vote for him or (laugh) vote for Trump*. Nothing. In my opinion, the propaganda backfires because whatever they might try to float - it’s nonsense. Even if true or horrible, Biden is not a sadistic psychopath. Biden is not my pick in a perfect world, but this isn’t a perfect world and it’s Trump* or Biden.
Trump* is destroying this nation and doing nothing while as 1,000+ people die EVERY DAY - which, with leadership (his job) would not be happening on such a horrific scale. It seems like passive genocide to me. He delayed acting early on because he thought the disease would decimate the blue states that were suffering first - let people die who would vote against him - you can find audio - video of him saying as much. He did nothing because he thought fewer Democrats would vote because they were DYING. There is a quote - find it, ignore it or acknowledge it’s true to form.
Who can vote for that? I don’t want to know.
