Because Biden is a mouthpiece for US capitalism and imperialist domination. Need there be more reason than that? I sense Lenin spinning in his grave every time a Marxist says 'Vote Biden' or 'Vote Democrat", or 'Vote Labour'. The rope stopped supporting the hanging man a century ago. The only people encouraging illusions in people like Biden are those on the left who call for a vote for him. A better question might be, 'Why should US socialists vote for someone who openly describes himself as a Zionist, funnels unprecedented billions of dollars to Israel to enable genocide, condemns antiwar protesters as terrorists, encourages teh media to attack them the same way and endorses police repression of those protesters?' That has nothing to do with "massaging one's own self-righteousness". Lesser evilism has crippled the left for decades. At some point the left has to break with this dead end, which has brought neither the US nor the world one millimetre closer to socialism, but, in my opinion, has held back that process.
