The notion that Biden represents a lesser evil compared to the chaotic reign of Trump is a common argument. However, we must not forget that there exists a moral threshold below which neither choice is acceptable. To suggest that enabling a literal genocide can be considered a lesser evil is a morally bankrupt stance.

Saying that voting for Biden is a moral obligation to prevent the return of Trump perpetuates a dangerous fallacy. It implies that the democratic party is immune from scrutiny and accountability, no matter the atrocities they commit. This line of thinking allows for a never-ending cycle of justification, as long as there’s somebody considered worse, the democrats are granted a blank check. This is nothing more than a form of gaslighting, manipulating the public into believing that their only choice is between two evils, rather than demanding a better standard of leadership and true representation.

    yeah biden is worse on the border, oil drilling, ukraine, and is an ideological zionist.

    when trump does horrible things at least liberals frequently normalize being against them instead of making excuses

      I aways like to point out it was the libs who normalized cages at the border not Trump

      In 2018 even mainstream dems outside the squad were condemning the atrocity of locked up children, now they’re to the right of Trump and want to expand border repression in every aspect

      Under Trump libs at least bothered to wear masks. I think if he came back virtue signaling masking would make a comeback (not nearly enough people and probably a lot of cloth masks, but still).
