Reposted it just so I could paste this comment, the original was in a place I am banned from:

They’re not the same, but if you look at the big picture, like a livable vs an unlivable biosphere, then the slightly-lesser evil is still omnicidally evil (and helping with a genocide).

Record oil and gas drilling, multi-time failure to codify Roe, redlining, gave away the public option, Manchin’s removed, Bibi’s removed, tricked Warren to betray Bernie for nothing, fascist crackdown on peacefully protesting college kids, ancient dinosaur who’s out of touch. I could go on.

There are other options aside from red and blue, and as a swing state voter, I’ll be taking them.

Biden oversaw the largest expansion of oil drilling in American history. Have US CO2 emissions declined under Biden’s term? He also put up huge tariffs on Chinese EVs, batteries, and solar panels. He chose to put American business interests ahead of helping the environment. A few days ago, as a lame duck, he grabbed headlines by barring oil drilling in a bunch of US waters. But he only banned drilling in areas that the oil industry has no interest in operating in anyway. The coastal areas that actually have a potential for future drilling expansion? He left those alone. All style and no substance; it’s the Biden way.

Him giving a bit of relief to problems he created doesn’t make him good. Him throwing money at corporations doesn’t make him good. Biden has done some good things, but his achievements are overstated, inflated, and are far away from what would be considered good overall.

These are quotes from various idiots, before the elections. It's worthwhile to study the form of their super passionate arguments here -- notably, the extreme emotional tone about it, and also the hyper-focus on particular aspects, and catchy arguments. It sounds like it makes sense. But none of it is "here's a chart of the overall impact of Biden's term, and here's what will probably happen under Trump." Which would be, you know, the actual picture, like this image.
