    I will definitely vote for Biden, but his disgusting simping for Israel makes me a lot less inclined to donate money to his campaign. I might end up only donating to anti-Trump PACs instead.

      if you’re voting for someone and not fighting with them after they win you’re only doing half a democracy. people talk about “the lesser of two evils” but there’s no realistic situation in which you agree with the person you’re voting for on all things, so there is no strategy that doesn’t include the “lesser evil”. The fact is that Biden sucks shit. The other fact is that Trump is much worse on all things, including whatever you happen to be pissed of at Biden about. So the choice seems to be “do I spite the guy who pissed me off but actually make the situation worse, or do I do what’s in my power to make the situation better, vote for the guy who pissed me off as a stopgap and then do everything I can to bully him into actually doing the right thing?”
