Yes, both sides suck. One side sucking more than the other doesn't change that.
Biden is awful on policy, and I dislike much of what he "got done" in his 4-years of office. And I actually voted for him in 2020. I voted for him for three reasons:
This year, "not Trump" is still true, but that doesn't change the fact that Biden still sucks on policies I care about. His website just says "defeat Trump." Here he is on "the issues":
And comparing them on the issues:
So I guess Biden wins a slight edge here by being less terrible than Trump, actually trying something, and not messing things up too bad. But I disagree with pretty much every policy proposal he has.
Here are my priorities:
Neither candidate seems to have a plan for any of that, they are either silent or opposite. So that's why I consider both to suck, they suck on the issues I care about, and they're decent on issues I care much less about.
So yes, both sides are pretty much the same to me, and since I live in a very red state, it won't matter if I vote for the less crappy option. So I'll be voting third party instead, since I do have options that align with my priorities.
