This seems like a sensible policy to me. Biden is not a saint, but an election is about who to vote for, not who to venerate.
A vote for Biden is going to help stop Trump, who has, among his achievements and policies:-
- been impeached for trying to trade favours with Ukraine
- denied climate change and pulled out of the only global accord to address the problem
- seperated kids from their parents without the documentation/system to reunite them
- corrupted the DOJ by "activating Bill Barr"
- corrupted the CDC, tampering with stats and drawing on maps to promote his unscientific ideas
It's a long list, but ends with that small matter of lying about covid, abdicating from leading a federal response and causing the death of thousands of Americans. Is that any longer in dispute? He's caused the death of literally thousands of US citizens.
Given those circumstances, I find it difficult to understand a policy of not voting to block Trump. As one anti-Trumper puts it, given how contentious the election results are likely to be, the Dem vote needs to be "to big to rig" or the US may find itself with another 4 years under Trump.
