Hey, I generally agree! It's impossible to revolutionize a system while sticking to the rules of that system. We can and should fight wherever possible to improve things for our fellow man, no matter what we're "supposed" to do as defined by the people that stand the most to gain from our apathy.

But that fight includes voting for the lesser harm. Voting for Biden to stop Trump from being president is an entirely valid strategy -- and for the people who stand the most to lose, like racial and gender minorities, we cannot ignore harm reduction.

We can't let perfect be the enemy of good.
