Why, when I am an anarcho-communist, should I work hard to support the neoliberal candidate? I am not lifting a goddamned finger for Joseph R. Biden Jr other than unwillingly casting my vote for him if need be.

I think part of it though is if you at least talk about being willing to vote for him due to the dangers of the current GOP you may sway other communists/socialists who would vote third party to vote for Biden by seeing the good in at least protecting from the current social Neo-conservatism within the GOP.

I dislike Biden intensely. I meant what I said when I wouldn't lift a finger to help him other than vote for him. I sure as hell am not going to work to sway others in my circle to vote for him. That's entirely up to them and the conclusions they draw. It is going against my principles as it is to vote for someone that does not represent my best interests. It's worse that he doesn't even represent my best interests, he does everything counter to them.

I’m fiscally conservative, but I will work to get people convinced to vote for Biden. You said you would as well. That to me is lifting a finger

No, that's not.
