If you think Biden is a good candidate, and want him in office, then go ahead. I don't like him. And if you don't like him either, then don't jump on my back for not wanting to vote for him, when you agree there are valid reasons for not wanting to vote for the guy. The DNC keeps feeding us status quo candidates because we keep voting them in, and they won't change unless we pressure them to.
Because your idea is based on airy nonsense propounded to make democracy seem enticing to those who are too dreamy and inclined towards fantasy to grasp the real reasons why democracy is desirable.
The real reason democracy is desirable is not it will in any way significantly improve the odds of making good decisions or ensure good governance, or even may your every voice count, because it can't. The real reason why democracy is desirable it offers (very) slightly more assurance of preventing truly bad decisions or governance. What you are trying to do is to expect from democracy what it can not deliver, while in the process knocking the foundation out from its ability to deliver the only thing it can deliver.
If you act on this nonsense you will but guaranteed people who will do the most harm will gain the office while you fret away your vote in ill considered shallow dreams.
