    As far as I can tell, voting for Biden doesn’t consume any energy at all that might be directed instead at changing the voting system. Vote, done. If you want to expend energy talking about it on the internet, you can, and that seems fine, but the voting part is pretty straightforward.

    Most of the voting-advocacy energy I see expended on the leftist sections of the internet seems to be devoted to why not to vote in the election. I would actually really welcome someone devoting energy to changing the voting system instead of that, and letting it go completely assumed that of course we’re going to vote for Hindenburg instead of Hitler (“Hitler-lite” is an absolutely wrong designation for Biden, although generally I agree with your post and message, and if he was Hitler-lite it would still be better to vote for him instead of Classic.)

    Almost makes me think the loud not-voting advocacy is not friendly leftists who of course want the best for the Democrats, and are just so concerned with fixing the voting system that they have no time for anything other than advocating against voting for Biden.
