I think they want attention. They want to be validated. It's a WASTE OF TIME. Instead... our efforts are better spent in getting NEW and FIRST TIME voters to the polls. We're better off helping people to register and making sure their registration info is current.

You could spend five hours trying to convince ONE "Sarandonesque" voter that Biden is the best choice (and still not have guaranteed results). In fact they'd probably "write in" the name of someone that has NO chance of winning.

But, if you simply ignore that particular voter and concentrate the same amount of effort elsewhere, it's possible to get dozens of voters to support Biden and to join the Democratic Party.
