Republican/Conservative here who will be voting for Biden. I don’t particularly support any of the things you mentioned (I think there are some merits to a “Green New Deal” but in a much different form than what is currently being proposed; for instance ending subsidies to the fossil fuel industry etc…). First of all our votes don’t exactly matter in New York. Second of all, when did the presidency become the be all and end all of American politics. Why can’t we focus our attention maintaining a Republican majority in the Senate or flipping the house? I am tired of the circus that has become American politics (admittedly this started before Trump, he has merely amplified it). Removing Trump is merely treating a symptom of a larger problem but that’s a treatment I am happy to prescribe. Just like Trump did not “make America unrecognizable” in four years as so many warned, neither will Biden and the “radical democrats”. For one thing, when you actually have power and the responsibility that goes along with that, you realize that some of the crazy things you said are unreasonable. So yes, I am perfectly happy to tolerate a Biden administration for four years (ideally while holding at least one house of the legislature). And in 2024, if Biden proves to be as disastrous as you expect him to be, I am sure we’ll all be happy to vote for Nikki Haley or whomever else the party nominates. And if the Democrats pack the courts, we’ll pack them right back.
