She is 100% correct. In the primaries vote for your dog or write in your kid if you want. In the big show however, any vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for fascism and at this point almost guarantees that we see at the very least an attempt to install a dictator in the next few decades.

I agree completely.

But the votes don't belong to Biden. He must go and earn them, and if he doesn't, that's his fault. This was the same problem with Hillary. Being "not Trump" is sufficient to get my vote, but it is insufficient to get every vote necessary to win. If he doesn't try harder to earn those votes, then he will lose and it will be his fault, not the voters who refused to support him.

Now is NOT the time to be pedantic with our vote. It is ALL HANDS ON DECK. If Biden loses, I fear for the livelihood of so many friends and family members. We will not be put to death so ignorantly. A vote for Biden is a vote for keeping the rules of the game in play. A vote for Trump is a vote to destroy the system, game, and any semblance of hope that remains.

I agree with you, and I hope Biden starts doing more to convince people to vote for him. If he doesn't, I'm not going to blame the people who didn't vote for him.
