the "vote for the lesser evil" crowd are an overwhelming majority and, they not only don't care that dems don't deserve your vote; but will use that overwhelming majority voice to blame you for enabling trump.
I think the crowd of apathetic voters is much larger than the "lesser evil" crowd. But the lesser evil crowd sends their hate towards third party voters rather than the apathetic.
The cold, hard truth is that with a winner take all system, it will always be a lesser of two evils situation. Just like they want it to be.
Okay, but the fact is there are only two viable choices and every vote that isn't for Biden supports and enables Trump. That is true despite Biden being terrible. And he's nowhere near as terrible as Trump. Read about Project 2025. People need to know about it. That is what Trump wants.

It is vital that be stopped. And that means voting for Biden.
This election there actually could be 3 viable candidates. Both major parties have such awful candidates that RFK Jr is polling the highest a 3rd party candidate has in a very long time. They show Biden and Trump both in the 30s percentile wise and RFK Jr at 24%. The "protest vote" seems to get stronger and stronger.
