The only way we lose is if we stand divided.

PS.
I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.
I'm sorry, but this really isn't true. Almost everyone here, leftist or liberal, is going to vote, and the vast majority of them are going to vote for Biden. There will be some protest votes, especially in safe states, but if you care enough to post on a left-leaning political group, you care enough to try to block Trump.
The people that will cost Biden the election are the people who don't argue online. They support the Democrats (or at least oppose the Republicans), but they don't always vote. They probably live in a state without mail-in voting, they probably live paycheck to paycheck, and they really just don't have a lot of spare time. They'll go to the polls if they think it's really important or they're very enthusiastic about the candidate, but if not, they'd rather rest or get a load of laundry done before work tomorrow, because it's not that important anyway. The Democrats need to find a way to get those people out if they want to win.
We all live in the same ecosystem. The people who argue online are the same people who might inspire their dipshit friends to have an opinion. Those people might convince their families to come with them to the polls. Troll farms demonstrated in 2016 and continue to demonstrate that they don't need to convince anyone. They don't need to tell lies or trick anyone. They just need to keep everyone at odds with each other. They do that with media loops and feeding negative discussions.
When I post in opposition, I'm not really having an effect. I get to diffuse some of the disinformation upfront which is still pretty good in my eyes. But really I'm just swinging because I have fight in me.
I mean, fair enough, and it's not like trying to get leftists and liberals to work together will hurt. I'm just saying, don't worry too much about those divisions, as they tend to work themselves out; worry about voter turnout. There are also things you can do to help with that, like volunteering to give rides with Souls to the Pools or Carpool Vote.
