She had only one really important job to do as vice president—become president if the president was incapable of doing the job. She, like many administration (and media), put her political party’s optics over the good of the country and tried to hide Joe Biden’s mental decline from the population. She was literally derelict in her most important duty as vice president. How could she be trusted as president?

I’m an independent and I could not and would not vote for her for this reason. I could not and would not vote for Trump either, so I simply didn’t vote.

"My feelings are so important I'd rather let the country fall to fascism than make a small concession."

You're an embarrassment, I hope you get what you 'voted' for.

If the country falls to fascism it will be due to the democratic party choosing to run absolutely shitty candidates for the last 3 election cycles more than my single vote not being registered for any given candidate.

The democratic party is an embarrassment (that is coming from a former democrat, now independent BTW). Whatever we “get”, they own it.
