I’ll begrudgingly vote for Biden again. I’d prefer someone further left, but I desperately want to prevent the Rs from winning.

I'll vote Democrat even though I'm a Leftist, because

  1. they're the ones that most align with my views. Biden has surprised me (in a good way) with what he's been able to pass / has attempted to pass.

  2. Republicans want to make life worse for everyone who isn't a Straight White Christian Male, and they're succeeding (see Supreme Court, Florida). I believe in equal rights for all Americans/Humans, and Republicans clearly do not.

Your messages match my thoughts very well. I look at what the parties have done, and I choose Democrats. As you said, Republicans are destroying rights, like a woman's right to choose.

I support individuals, not parties as a whole. If he gets to the general election ballot I'll vote for Cornel West on the green party ticket.

The realistic candidate that supports and will actively fight for

Bodily autonomy- abortion rights need to be enshrined.

Decriminalizing cannabis- Just look at a map of where it's legal stop dragging our feet on this one, and legalize home grow too. No one should be arrested because theyput a seed in thebfround, and just because my partner grows amazing garden produce doesn't mean we don't go to the supermarket.

Combatting the Christian Nationalist movement- the ultra Christian rightwing attack on anyone who isn't a white straight man. That means openly condemning groups like "Moms for Liberty", and putting them on hate group or terrorist lists.
