Please don't take this as shaming, because I'm trying to be earnest here. There's no other candidate that has earned your vote? Obviously not Trump or, in your case, Biden, but there's got to be some minor-party candidate that reflects your views better than the two major-party ones.
Also, hopefully there's a House rep or Senae candidate …

Also, hopefully there's a House rep or Senae candidate that you could vote in to push the process more. It's not just the Presidency.
I'm sitting it out too. No other candidate is a credible alternative, and I'm tired of pissing in the wind.
Definitely I will vote for decent down-ballot candidates and fortunately my Democratic representative, Lloyd Doggett, is worth voting for.
Instead of voting, I'm doing everything I can think of to slow down this genocide. This week I'm writing all the ambassadors of countries that colluded with the US in cutting UNRWA funds right after the ICJ order for Israel to allow more aid. I spent hours writing the most persuasive letter in the wind. [Cheers to Spain, who TRIPLED its UNRWA aid; and to the five other countries who didn't go along with it; Belgium's building got bombed in revenge.]
That's probably pissing in the wind too, but even if it's a long shot it beats voting for West (whom I used to admire but I now think is a non-serious narcissist after his antics this year) or Stein. For me. I'm fine with those who evaluate it differently and choose to vote for them. I also even understand those who go on and vote for Biden on various grounds. But I can't, after genocide and now this cruel immigration bill he's pushing.
Not really. Due to the districts I live in my federal and state senators/representatives are pretty mediocre or outright horrible. The local elections are relevant to my job and I'll vote for that and leave the rest of the ballot blank. The state I live in is solid red so my presidential vote is meaningless anyway. But at least I will know I didn't vote for a person that has helped the Israel genocide.
Not in DC there isn't. My vote doesn't matter, because Joe Biden has spent his entire political career making sure it wouldn't. I guess he now gets to reap the benefits of me not voting for him this time!
And no, the local elections don't matter here either. The local change we do elect people to make gets overturned by the federal government.

Yes. I feel SICK now that I voted for Biden in 2020 even though in a red state it didn't make a difference. Really really SICK.
Never doing that again with someone I knew had horrible flaws even at the time.
Fair enough.

He said he's voting he's just not voting for President. At least read the comment first
