All this really does is just lower the bar for future candidates. If every vote is either fascism or the current state of affairs, fascism is eventually going to win due to apathy

Did... I say that it was?

No. I didn't.

I may not have explicitly said this... but the point that you clearly are either ignoring (my assumption) or just didn't get... is that Biden is not doing enough to stop fascism. which is why, under his leadership the US is continuing to slide to fascism.

You don't win fights- be they full on battles, street brawls, or figurative fights- simply with falling back and staying defensive. if you want to win- if you want to defeat fascism- you're going to have to hit back. in politics, this means going to the opposite end, that is to say, by pushing progressive policies over the regressive policies of the fascists.

yeah. have you been paying attention?

• Economy sucks for average americans. While the economy is "strong"... that's not translating to gains for normal people. that's all going straight to record profit and fat bonuses. the trend of increasing numbers of americans living pay check to paycheck has only increased- and indeed accelerated- under Biden's policies. While the fundamental causes are not his fault, per se, and there's limits on what a president can do... the fact is, he keeps trotting this out as a good thing, and he's full of shit. Suffice it to say, he's not done enough.
• He's done more harm to stalling climate change than good. He personally made the decision to allow the Willow Project to go forward, for example. Under his leadership, Oil production is reaching record setting highs... and he's released more oil from the strategic reserve than all other presidents combined. (and before you trot out the BBP stuff, realize that most of that is tax breaks for things corporations were going to do anyhow, or subsidizing EV's so manufacturers like tesla could get away with selling cars that are substantially overpriced... aka corporate profits. same goes for the jump to 40% renewable energy... that's not anything he's done, specifically.)
• fascism is increasingly on the rise. We have a bonafide insurrectionist *who almost succedded in over throwing Biden's presidency... still free. it took Biden's administration over two and a half years to get extremely sensitive secrets back... and they're still missing some of the most sensitive secrets. it took over two years for them to finally get a proper investigation, nearly three years for them to start indictments on things we all knew were crimes.
• Civil Liberties... are being attacked and he's sitting around with his thumb up his ass. Abortion, LGBTQ rights, education. On a federal level, he's done fuck all to defend it. most of the gains (for example, Ohio) are being won despite his leadership.
• equality in criminal justice is still massive problem. I don't think I've seen fuck all from that. his adminstration doesn't seem to have cared so much, except in token gestures- that while meaningful to the people they help, could have been done on day one. (the mass pardon of pot charges, for example,)
• similarly, he could have ordered DoJ to focus on white collar/corporate crimes, as well as going after domestic terrorism. before they get to shoot up election polling places next year...
