Elections are just
a reflection of the progress you have already made rather than an
actual tool of progress. Your job on election day is not to prove your
virtue but to help create the best possible battlefield for future
efforts.
In the case of this year's
election, not voting for Joe Biden could help elect America's first
dictatorship. This would not be a moral action; but rather either
stupid, narcissistic or a combination of both. The fact that you
support better programs than Biden shouldn't let you share
responsibility for Trump's reelection.
Infinitely preferable is to elect Biden and then return to pressing your progressive agenda.
