    by realistically evaluating your situation

    Your only acceptable measure of that is if I vote for Biden which makes me unable to realistically evaluate my situation by definition. There’s no point in making this argument. We aren’t going to see things the same way. One of us has to compromise. If you can’t see it’s moderates and liberals turn to make some serious and material compromises leftwards then you never will.

      No, that’s not what I’m saying at all. The situation is that you will realistically have two choices for president. Voting for anything other than one of those two choices is effectively pointless as it will have no impact on the outcome except to withhold a vote from one of the two candidates that are going to win.

      Anything else that you choose is symbolic at best but effectively meaningless.
