That is the underlying tragedy, isn't it. Team red or team blue, two options and that's it. At times I wonder if i can even call that a choice, or a real democracy for that matter.

I understand why, I will make no effort to persuade you otherwise. That being said, here's the case I would make for a moderate Democratic candidate (as I perceive Biden to be). A vote for such a person would strengthen the moderate wing in the party, those that don't shout defund the police and so on. Not voting for such a person might be the path for the less moderate portions of the party to gain more influence. And then sooner or later one of those people will be nominated and win a presidential election (given the next republican-connived effort to get rid of them has not succeeded), because team blue wins once in a while no matter who or what. That would be said case of mine for voting for a moderate Democrat over a democracy-averse republican. I don't know, makes sense in my head.

Which sounds wild to me. Now, of all times. When the current GOP proved time and again that they in the largest part are just spineless sycophants to Trump (and then some). Democrats really got that much worse in the same timespan that it's even worse than that... well who am I to say it isn't so. Thanks Callie.
