I'm only gonna say this once: Unlike 2016, 2020 is a referendum on the current state of American government and politics. Full stop. This isn't about a "lesser of two evils" anymore. It's about picking between Trump and Not Trump. Abstaining is a vote for Trump. That's it. https://twitter.com/fk_eduardo/status/1248373970677583872
Let me put it another way, in 2016, a lot of folks were under the misguided impression that Trump couldn't be that bad and he'd be restrained by exigent forces and institutions. He subsequently torched them all and now it's very much that bad. That's what you're voting against.
Anyone who tells you that you don't have to vote for Biden or that you don't have to vote at all is basically telling you that they like how things are under Trump and you're a useful idiot to their pursuit because they're using your ideological purity against you. It's judo.
And I get it, Joe Biden might not perfectly align with your values. Well, guess what? The alternative is diametrically opposed to everything you say you want. You want M4A? Well, Trump is actively in court trying to take away the little bit of healthcare you got. Do the math.
