>you can’t punish Biden for his bad behavior. There is only making things better. Righting the past is impossible.
there is no way to get from this to the conclusion that one ought to vote for him
Utilitarianism and consequentialism. It used to be a given amongst socialists, but not anymore I guess. You are obligated to perform the action that ensures the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Voting for the lesser evil is exactly that. An imperfect action, but a necessary one.
Honestly, socialists should always vote unless they have a specific strategy in not voting. Maybe they're boycotting a rigged election to diminish its ability to justify the government. Maybe it's because a specific deal with a party was broken and they're following through on a promise. With those examples, not voting is combined with a specific action to weaken the government. There's careful thought and the efftect of the boycott is maximized. This isn't the case right now. The only proposed strategy is accelerationism.
