But when, through no fault of our own, the actual choice is digital: Biden or Trump—what will you choose? Remember, even NOT voting is a choice—with consequences. It increases the likelihood that we will end up with a criminal fascist psychopath, rather than an aging career politician who still inhabits the reality-based world—including awareness of actual constraints on his power—and who has actually done a lot of difficult but beneficial things (like the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes multiple incentives for shifting to renewable energy. If you are too smug and self-righteous, you will share the blame if our (inevitably imperfect) democracy degenerates into oligarchic fascist tyranny!
