No, you both insist that I vote for "someone who can win" and at this point that is Trump or Biden and if I really felt obligated to vote for the winner, Biden is looking more likely every day. As I said, I really tried to give Trump a chance but he is not maturing. I also can't vote for Biden, so what am I supposed to do? I will pick someone I like, vote for her (if nothing changes Jo Jorgensen) and be resigned I am going to lose. |

He should choose which he thinks will better represent the country. Roughly half the population throws their vote away in every election. Hillary would point out it was far more than half in 2016. |

The pros and cons of Biden and Trump are not identical. Your vote for Jo, knowing she (he?) can't win is just another cop out. Do your thing, but please don't try to justify a copout as something more than what it is. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |
