You can vote for a real candidate if you so choose :)
As much as being someone outside the US, who enjoys the waning US hegemony over the 3rd world countries thanks to Trump's fuckery all around, and strongly disliking how Joe has rightfully earned the "Genocide" nick these last months despite all his awesome domestic policies, I'd still urge you without any doubt to vote for Biden this election.
Orange jello may have weakened the iron grip of the US in exploitation of the 3rd world countries, but not without aims to replace them with other entities as sinister as the current ones.
3rd party alternatives you have will not amount to a solidified support for anything you want. Conservatives and right wingers are always extremely consolidated on their voting habits, no matter what they complain about or whom they dislike, never make mistakes about that. They are not borderline fascists without a reason.
Don't make the mistakes that we did in Turkey in last years election. Left, as always, bickered about most things among themselves, rightfully so but in the worst timing, and right just said "We'll vote for whatever secondary right-wing shell parties there are but we'll support Erdoğan no matter what including the horribly foreseen earthquake disaster shortly before the elections.".
Your voting system forces you to this choice, sadly. Antics, rebellious voting, forcing ideals without having proper steps in place will not help you achieve what you want, unless by force, which the civil systems of administration are there to put bloodless alternative.
You are free to spend your vote one whatever makes more sense for you, but consider what people closer to your views have been urging for your sense to work better.
Again, You can vote for a real candidate if you so choose :).
You're really trying to defend the better of 2 evils here, which makes you just as bad as your genojoe buddy
