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.

the best way for Hitler to have prevented internal dissent was for him to allow a Definitely Not Nazi Party to run against him with Goebbels at its head. almost exactly the same concept going on in present-day America.

even the mere idea of challenging the system that is upholding a genocidal fascist is completely wiped away in the minds of liberals as they flitter like moths to a flame towards the theater of an election which many of them even admit will be between 99% Hitler and 100% Hitler. give liberals a bunch of buttons that are disconnected from anything and they'll still mash them over and over in their panic rather than walking away from the control panel
