I'm progressive leaning, living in a large California city that will absolutely go blue as well as the state. I see no point in voting for Biden other than to add to the exclamation point of the popular vote which doesn't actually matter for anything. I will vote local and state level, but I don't see the point in voting for Biden as he's not really a candidate I can get behind and my vote is irrelevant thanks to the antiquated electoral college. Change my mind?
The electoral college does manipulate the vote, but it doesn't make votes not matter. Also if everyone in Cali had the mindest that "this state is blue, I don't have to vote to keep it that way" then Cali would become a red state or swing state. Don't just rely on others voting. And if you are already voting at the state/local level, why not also vote for a President?
