I really hate to say this but it's extremely sincere: I'm gonna need convincing that it's OK to support Joe Biden for President of the USA.

(nb I DON'T need convincing that he'd be better than Trump. Not the issue. Can I pull the lever for Biden and feel OK about myself?)
I totally feel the force of the consequentialist argument, where the comparison with Trump is super important. It is. But it's not the only thing.
I was one of those people who was saying that even setting policy positions aside, Trump supporters, Roy Moore supporters, etc. were doing something really bad by saying they were OK supporting those candidates. I had no patience for "the other guy/lady is worse". I meant it.
I'm not right now coming out on team "never Biden". I'm just... trying to think through something I'm struggling hard with.

I assume doing it publicly on twitter is a good strategy for thinking through these subtle moral questions? Twitter is good for that right?
