Joe Biden isn't the lesser evil.
You should vote Green.

1. When Democrats are in power, the media hides their transgressions and most people stop following politics.
Did you know that Obama built the cages for migrant children and that many reported being molested in them, yet he bequeathed them to Trump?
Joe Biden even defended it.

2. The Obama-Biden Administration actually deported more asylum seekers than the Trump-Pence Administration has
Joe and Trump are both anti-immigrant
Joe voted for the border fence long before Trump ran on it
Joe helped build more of the barrier than Trump did actually

3. Joe Biden is the grand architect of the American police state that is responsible for police brutality against and excessive incarceration of Black Americans.
Both Obama and Trump have used Joe's systemic racist system to keep Black America oppressed.

4. In addition to the 1994 Crime Bill Joe partnered with segregationist Strom Thurmond for several years to craft a series of “tough on crime” legislation that specifically targeted Black Americans. http://m.amsterdamnews.com/news/2020/feb/20/bidens-record-anti-black-legislation-explains-why-/
5. The Biden Crime Bill targeted the Black community, which led to the incarceration of a generation of Black Americans, devastated Black families and laid the groundwork for mass incarceration as well as police brutality that Bush, Obama, and Trump have all escalated.
6. Joe pushed Reagan to increase incarceration in fact... https://theintercept.com/2019/09/17/the-untold-story-joe-biden-pushed-ronald-reagan-to-ramp-up-incarceration-not-the-other-way-around/
7. Bush handed Obama two wars. Obama handed Trump seven. Trump will likely hand those same seven to Biden.
Joe supported all of those wars, and more. He's far more hawkish than Trump actually.
And, like Trump, he dodged serving his country in the Vietnam War.

8. On the climate, Joe's record is abysmal. Trump's is worse.
However, the differences between them are so negligable that they have the same catastrophic outcome.
We need nothing less than the Green New Deal that both Trump and Joe both reject.

9. On the economy, Joe is owned by the same rich establishment that Trump serves.
He has a record of serving the rich for longer than Trump has actually.

10. Joe passed legislation that made student loans unforgivable, and credit card debt permanent which hurt low-income Americans most.
11. He voted for Antonin Scalia, and then praised him for his record
He helped Clarence Thomas
He destroyed the proces
He insisted Obama pick 'no liberal' justices, which he didn't
Joe approves of Garland Merrick who is equal to Kavanaugh
Joe isn't picking liberal justices

12. Joe is as bad for women's rights as Trump.
He opposes abortion.
He's been credibly accused of assaulting women.

13. There are numerous CSPAN videos of Joe touching young girl's breasts, kissing them inappropriately, and not caring that they were upset by him violating them.
This is worse than Trump's record actually...

14. Across their public records, not their campaign rhetoric, both Joe Biden and Donald Trump are bad for Americans.
On some issues, Joe is worse.
On some issues, Trump is worse.
But, in the aggregate, the consequences of their Administrations will be equally destructive.

15. Both men oppose Medicare-for-All, tax increases on corporations, and free college.
Both support censorship, the police state, and neoliberal Authoritarianism
It literally does not matter which of them is President; the results for working Americans will be exactly the same

16. Trump's America and Biden's America will both suck for working class Americans
The only difference is that the establishment media will lie about what Biden is doing and people will stop protesting
Under Trump, systemic collapse is painful enough to drive direct action

17. No one is telling you, but I will:
You have an alternative in November.
There are four viable candidates on the ballot.
But, only one of them supports mainstream policies.

18. It's not Joe Biden
19. It's the Green Party
If Joe Biden is no better than Donald Trump, and he isn't in the aggregate, then why waste your vote on an establishment candidate?
Why empower the oligarchy to continue to not represent you?
Why not vote for Green New Deal, single-payer, debt relief?

20. Your vote for the Green Party would do several things.
It would be a step away from the establishment that oppresses you.
It would begin a grassroots movement to build a party that shares your values, and projects corporate donations.

21. It would send a clear message that we will no longer support the oligarchy.
At 5%, we get federal funding and ballot access so we can be viable down ballot as well as at the top.
At 15%, we a podium on the debate stage.
At 25%, we destroy the DNC, so we can replace them.

22. 108 million people did not vote in 2016.
That's nearly more than twice what HRC and Trump received individually.
We have enough people.
If we come together.

23. Abraham Lincoln won as a third party candidate.
It's not impossible.
In 2020, it's as important to vote Green to fight systemic racism as it was in 1860 to vote third party to abolish slavery.
