I've noticed a lot of posts asking how we're going to vote, and people coming in trying to shame people for not voting for Biden, or any candidate in the general election at all.

So I'm curious and, asking in good faith, want to know - what will make you stop voting for Biden?

I hear you, but almost half of eligable voters do not vote regardless of what is happening. How is our abstinence going to read as signal in that noise?

If we want to make a point I don't know that pissing into the ocean of non-voters is going to do it.

Respond to surveys, make it clear that it's your disillusionment with the Democratic Party's support for genocide that's making you withhold your vote.

You guys are getting survays to respond to? I think I'm going to just call every week and say the same shit unless things change.

You can spoil your ballot or turn in a blank one. That gets seen as an "undervote" by politicos. Or if there's an unusual surge for a 3rd party candidate that could help.

Or IDK, stage some protests at Dem Party events. Every county has a local meeting and they're very easy to crash!
