People should vote for Biden--who is not a progressive--without illusions, with eyes open to his severe shortcomings. But not to vote for Biden is to close your eyes to the disastrous consequences for climate and democracy of 4 more years of Trump.

Dear Fellow Progressives: Please Vote for Biden | Common Dreams

The best hope of removing Trump from the White House is a landslide victory for Biden.
