It's one of the many reasons why, in this time of extraordinary crisis, rather than participating as Democrats in promoting the electoral charade, I think leftists should be incessantly demanding this and other social advances. Rather than working to get out the vote for the Democrat--and they are mutually exclusive--we should spend every minute working to turn what's effectively a state-imposed lockdown into a workers-led general strike. People should refuse to go back to work unless every one of them gets get healthcare, paid family leave, cancellation of student and medical debt, and other fundamentals of a secure and free life. We should be spending all of our time helping workers exercise the power they have, which the crisis has just revealed. It's only that power, not any vote, that will--and it will--get what they need from Donald Trump, Joe Biden, the Republicans, the Democrats, and the damn Supreme Court.
If it's not a deal-breaker for you, if you think, rather, that it's important to work on getting those votes for Joe, so be it.
But if you try to tell me I'm betraying my "high moral and political responsibility" because that sh*t I will not eat, I'll tell you to sit right down.
My summary response to the argument that leftists have some political or moral imperative to vote for the Democrat: You got nothing.
