The solution for the '24 presidential election: vote for Biden, vote a straight Democratic ticket. It's simple.

American partisan politics is binary, especially a presidential election. The winner of this next election will be either Biden or Trump, that's it.
A 3rd party vote by anyone on the Left is a wasted vote, even in California because Trump needs to be crushed, not just beaten. If Biden is a perceived lesser of 2 evils, you vote for him anyways. In my over 50 years of voting I have voted exclusively Democratic even when I did not particularly like the Democratic candidate because in helping the Democrat I do what I can against the Republican candidate.
So the greatest, most effective, and simple thing we can do to elect Biden and save democracy is to turn out and vote for him. No excuses.

We need to keep the White House and get real majorities in the Senate and the House.

Imagine what Biden can do in a second term with solid Democratic control of the House and Senate. Well, it's within our power to accomplish that.
