Sorry, but Biden is just egregiously . . .

Despite feeling otherwise, I’ve never chastised my friends on the left (like DSA’ers) who take the position that the Republican (like Bush or Trump) is so much worse that they feel compelled to vote for the Democratic Party alternative (like Kerry or Biden). I’m sympathetic to some extent because, under our present system, there’s a harsh reality where the Green Party candidate obviously can’t win and Supreme Court nominations are at stake and social spending and labor laws and etc. etc.

Yet, another aspect of the reality makes it seem a little ludicrous to vote for the egregiously uninspiring and ineffectual Joe Biden in the wake of the egregiously critical change that’s needed.
