That's pretty reductionist. I want to support a candidate who isn't just the status quo or worse.

Well by not supporting the status quo candidate you're supporting worse.

That's how the math works out, literally that's mathematically proven.

It's realistic in this situation. I do agree that much of the time we should focus in supporting good candidates, not just who others say we should. This time though there have been words said, and promises made, that threaten the lives of potentially millions of people. My goal is Biden first, better after. For this time only it is what we have to do. Afterwards let's come together to make that positive change we all want happen.
