I am so so divided on if I should vote for biden or not. I wanna vote third party to at least do something or should I just stay home and protest and advocate where I can? Thoughts?

While I wish we had a candidate that wasn't 80. I've actually been pleasantly surprised by Biden's administration.
And yes, the risk on this one is too great for third party. I genuinely do not believe that democracy will survive another term with the orange turd. He's already tried to overthrow our government once. He has made it clear that he plans to succeed through force if reelected.
the fact that you still believe that democracy exists (or ever existed, but I digress) despite him and his cohorts doing literally everything to show all you libs otherwise, is truly staggering...
I know you feel cool and radical when you say it, but when you call people libs, you just sound like a trump supporter.
Democracy isn’t black and white. It exists along a continuum. Voters in the US do have some influence on policy outcomes, albeit less than they might in a more democratic system.
If democracy didn't exist, the right wouldn't be trying to prevent us from voting.
