A thread for people who try to vote shame me. Alternate title: I will not vote for Joe Biden.
My mentions right now are split between:

You HAVE to vote for Biden, for the country, and God, and tiny, tiny puppies! If you don't, you're a đŸ˜± RuSsIaN!

and

Go on, we don't need your vote anyway. It worked really well for us in 2016 so we're going to push you away again.
To save myself from posting the same thing over and over, I'm making this thread, and will post it in response to vote shaming I encounter on here through November and beyond.

Joe Biden is a fascist. I do not vote for fascists.
So let's start here. My top issue is climate change. People don't want to hear it, but human civilization is actually in danger. We have no idea how much abuse the global ecosystem can take before it completely collapses.
The scientists are telling us we have until 2030 to make drastic changes to avoid the worst version of climate change. So why the fuck would I vote for a candidate whose climate change plan wouldn't even come close to slowing climate change?

Incidentally, how do you reach 78 years of age and not have a single regret in your life? Not one? The only answer: Be a sociopath.
And let's not forget his tendency to blow up at citizens and threaten them with violence.
And call them "fat" and "sedentary" and challenge them to pushup contests.
*I could literally go on for hours*. These are just the highlights of how terrible Joe Biden is.

So, some more general strategy-based arguments I get.
"As a Democrat, you should vote for whoever wins the nomination."

I am not a Democrat. I voted for every Democratic presidential nominee since I was old enough to vote, but I left the party in 2016 after how the party treated Bernie Sanders. I will not rejoin.
I vote based on policy now, not party, and there isn't a single policy on which Joe Biden aligns with my values.
"But Donald Trump is worse!"

Maybe, but it's irrelevant. Voting for a fascist is still voting for a fascist. Given the choice of two fascists, I will not vote for the lesser one. I will vote for neither.
"If you don't vote for Joe Biden, you're a Russian bot asset agent spy!"

Grow the fuck up.
"That's fine, we don't need your vote anyway!"

That's exactly what we were told in 2016, and we know how that worked out. I'm not saying I know for a fact Joe will lose. He might win. But if he wins, it will be without my help.
So, in conclusion in the longest Tweetstorm I have ever posted, the left has been warning the party for a year that we will not vote for Joe Biden. If the party and the rank and file choose to ignore us, that's fine. It's their choice. But you are not entitled to my vote.
Jesus, I forgot to even mention healthcare or his attempts to cut social security, but you get the idea by now. He's not just "flawed" or "imperfect," he's actively evil, much like the guy we already have in office.
