      Always vote for whoever you want. That’s how voting works.

      But know what you’re voting for. Know who you’re voting for. Our electoral system is inherently flawed.

      Voting for some schmuck running against Biden in the primary might make you feel good about protesting one or more of Biden’s policies. His support of Israel, his approach to border policies, his inaction on any number of progressive issues, whatever the objection, who else are you going to vote for? I know there is the pro-Palestine contingent in Michigan promoting a “none of the above” campaign, which is effective at registering your complaint.

      But in the general election, it’s time to put away such petty animus and defeat the orange monster that will destroy everything.

      I chose “none,” since I’ll be stuck voting for Joe in November anyway.
