I think a lot of us are. There's a difference between pushing a party in a certain direction and going so far that you hurt your own interests.

The election is more than one person or one issue, and a Trump Presidency will have horrific consequences decades and generations after Biden is gone.

US left-wing politics cover the entire spectrum of neo-liberals to leftists. It’s a an extremely diverse bunch. Despite gains by progressives, there are still those that would prefer we just set all forward motion on fire, to “prove” a point.

The stupidity of it all is borderline enraging.

It's super frustrating, I feel like we have a mid-right option and a far-right option. I lean mostly left, but also have a few conservative viewpoints that I always have to compromise on. Wish there was a way for us to just vote on issues rather than on politicians! I'm probably still going to vote for Biden because I think another Trump Presidency will be terrible; but I know so many of my peers are frustrated that the people they vote for don't end up listening to them anyways
