You might as well vote for Barney the dinosaur for all the good it will do.

A vote for a candidate who cannot win is wasted.

No candidate can win, unless you vote for them. That's the entire point of voting.

A vote for a candidate who cannot win is wasted.

Then it sounds like moderates need to be convinced a vote for a pro-corporate, genocide supporting, establishment geriatric is a waste of a vote.

wait, that is both of them! So, the felon adulterer serial liar narcissist one or the one that is older by two years and doesn't know where he is or what he is saying sometimes?

Right? Everything you can say negative about Biden can be said about Trump and Trump will be the worse offender of the two. Biden does have positive qualities, which I honestly cannot think can be said about Trump. He is a sushi roll consisting entirely of turd.

And you are happily imprisoning yourself into believing that the system is right to only offer you these two as candidates. If everyone that was progressive and unhappy with Biden would vote for Stein, then she could win. It is the mere talk about her having no chance of winning and the vote being wasted that keeps people in line to take the system as is.

I see the same arguments made against voting for smaller parties in my country where there is a minimum % they need to achieve before getting parliament seats. It is a system designed to preserve the current political elites with their network to the economic and cultural elites against ideas and movements taking a foothold.

Everyone sees what Biden is and what he stands for. If everyone who disagrees with that would take to the streets and demand the DNC to hold a real primary, or better yet demand fundamental changes to the political system, you would be surprised what is possible.

Stein isn't in the ballot in enough states to win the electoral college. She literally cannot win.

The difference being people voted for Biden in the 2020 primaries over much better people. I'm not going to reward that behavior again.
