I expect that, like last time, I'll be voting for someone else in the primary and Biden in the general. Since I live in Oregon, neither of these votes will matter -- in the strong sense in the primary, since the race will have already been decided, and in the weak sense in the general, because Oregon will definitely go to the Democrat.
The first problem could be fixed by having everyone vote at once or at least randomizing the order. The second could be fixed by a national popular vote.
Here @pluralistic explains, among other things, why he posts threads the way he does.
Incidentally, the fact that I'm quote-tooting here proves one of Doctorow's points: people with the skills and/or funds (In this case, I believe, @freemo) can modify Mastodon to add features.
Good article on mastodon tools from @pluralistic https://doctorow.medium.com/how-to-make-the-least-worst-mastodon-threads-daa33943ac31

Animated gif: A young girl waves a blanket behind which a young boy "disappears" by crawling behind a wall. When she triumphantly pulls away the blanket, his butt is still sticking out from behind the wall. She kicks him out of the way and continues with her "voila" wave. Caption: "Me fixing my code during presentation".

dear #mastodon,
which timeline/feature do you tend to spend the most time on?
p.s. please consider boosting for a more meaningful sample size.
:hmmm:

Do people get together online for #sketchbookart sessions?
I have enjoyed mob #programming for the past two years.
Now I'm inspired by https://youtu.be/K1Mf2XQhbog
and I wonder if anyone wants to do it together?

Gun Violence Is Actually Worse in Red States. It’s Not Even Close.
This is an interesting analysis of gun violence in the US.

The bathroom light fixtures at this beach house look like rolls of toilet paper. I'm guessing they were installed in the spring of 2020, when having toilet paper all over the place would imply luxury.
