Going aginst long time desires

There are many reasons to find Joe Biden to not be the ideal person to be the president.

Age.
Knowing that some businesses would have not donated had a progressive candidate been the nominee.
His family's dealings.
His actions around other people. (There is a reason someone created a parody titled "I Sniffed a Girl".)
He believes in the non plausible concept of Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
His VP choice and knowing what happened with Obama (and is still happening) wondering what would happen if she would need to take office. The US is currently in its longest streak without having a VP take over and especially considering Biden's age, his VP choice is important.

There are other reasons I have seen multiple people post over the past couple of months. Some are true while others are not.

However, I find one overwhelming reason to want Joe Biden to win the upcoming election:

He is NOT Donald Trump

I do not like the idea rooting for the lesser of two evils but this case is one obvious exception. Even without including the estimated 300,000 additional people who have died this year much of which can be directly attributed to the way the country has dealt with the pandemic, many actions and decisions which infringe on human rights and hurt the country and environment while boosting corporate profits (while gathered around those who have profitted from babbling about the non plausible concepts of Jesus Christ and eternal salvation) make him undesirable for four more years.

Though I was advised against joining the armed reserves, I could not imagine how any veteran could support someone who uses the word sucker to describe the choice to serve or loser to those who lost their lives in service.

Some might suggest an alternative candidate. Even if one of them would provide all the ideas that I would like to see (and from what I have seen, that is not the case), it is obvious that any vote towards one would be wasted.

Yes, if all those who prefer an alternate candidate would cast their vote that way, it could make a difference but right now, that idea would do way more harm than good.

Being an Illinois resident, my vote for president won't make a difference though there are other things on the ballot that will. I am hoping those in the states that will decide the presidential election (due to the antiqued way of determining the winner) will cast their ballot for the least worst of the two who have a legitimate chance to win.
