As it stands now I will be voting for either Jill Stein or Cornel West. I did vote for Marrianne Williamson in the Democratic primary.
I have never voted for a Democrat for POTUS in November.
I grew up in a Republican household although my mother voted JFK because he was Catholic.
So I always would vote a straight Republican ticket.
The first time I was going to vote for a Democrat was the first time Obama ran but I was in the process of moving from N.J. to Virginia and did not vote for the first time in my life. I would not vote for him the second time he ran. As Cornel West describes Obama as “a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats. And now he has become head of the American killing machine and is proud of it.”
I have been voting Green Party ever since including collecting signatures to get Jill on the ballot in Virginia.
I have met both Jill Stein and Cornel West a few times at protests as I do some photojournalism and I'm also an activist.
A lot of people do not recognize Biden's greatness and intelligence. He is one of the top 10 Presidents, IMHO. He engenders confidence.
Biden is little more than a common grifter. He elevated his game by election to national office and his association with shady mob types. The man hasn’t done honest work his entire adult life. Twenty years ago he was at the peak of his influence, but our country didn’t need his brand of “intelligence” back then and it certainly doesn’t need his dementia now.
Cynicism pervades every word Biden and Blinken utter. This cynicism extends to us. Our revulsion for Donald Trump, the Biden White House believes, will impel us to keep Biden in office. On any other issue this might be the case. But it cannot be the case with genocide.
Genocide is not a political problem. It is a moral one. We cannot, no matter what the cost, support those who commit or are accomplices to genocide. Genocide is the crime of all crimes. It is the purest expression of evil. We must stand unequivocally with Palestinians and the jurists from South Africa. We must demand justice. We must hold Biden accountable for the genocide in Gaza.

Thank you, Ted08721!

And HOW LONG has the military occupation been going on???
Biden hasn’t done a great job of controlling illegal immigration. While with Trump, I fear his right wing base getting completely out of control because this will be his second term, and he would have nothing to loose, and hence I fear him inciting extreme hatred and violence.
I can’t in good conscience, vote for either candidates.

So, you know the Biden that I have known over 30+ years! He was pathetic even before the dementia set in!
