It's pointless to shame those who vote for Biden, because it doesn't matter--Trump would be at least as bad on this and plenty of other things. As you have pointed out. And don't forget, in the US often your vote doesn't matter because of our ridiculous electoral college system. So, for example, I live in West Virginia, and will likely have to write in West or Stein--but it doesn't matter who I vote for because if he's on the ballot. Trump has already won here, guaranteed. Even if he won by two votes, he would get all of WV's electoral college votes. There is a move to change this but it will never go through BECAUSE the reps from the states with unfair advantage will never willingly give up their extra power. And it isn't worth fighting for, because this is just one of the ways the game is rigged to keep power in fat white sociopathic hands. We desperately need change, radical, a cross-the-board change, but we're overdue to talk about how to actually get there, rather than wasting any more time on electoral politics.
