    Lesser evilism is still choosing evil, and furthermore there isn't a substantial difference between Biden and Trump as presidents besides Trump being loud and boorish. It's been 40 years of picking the less worse option but things, shockingly, still get worse, never better.

    Biden has opened more land to oil and gas extraction than Trump. Biden has retained the concentration camps at the border that trump opened and expanded them. Biden's asylum policy is worse than Trump's. Biden's foreign policy is to indiscriminately kill to serve the US MIC, same as Trump. Biden is enthusiastically servicing the Palestinian genocide and frankly Trump couldn't be worse if he tried because Biden is going full throttle maximum effort short of invading with US troops (wait, that hostage rescue that killed hundreds of people was done from the US pier). Abortion rights were federally ended under Biden, who even before the supreme court deciding he has unlimited power could have done any number of things to reassert them. The MeToo movement was killed the moment Biden was in its crosshairs. Biden is apparently ruling with an inner circle of family and close friends as advisors, same as Trump. Infrastructure continues to crumble under Biden. Biden was a key part of passing draconian crime bills, and Biden is the reason student loans can never be expunged. Biden personally believes that women don't deserve bodily autonomy. The child tax credit died under Biden, causing millions of children to fall below the poverty line. Biden has continued Trump's trade war against China, putting huge tariffs on EVs and solar panels while the US is pummelled by climate change and desperately needs these technologies. Biden ended a number of testing and prevention programs fighting the COVID pandemic, which is ongoing, and directed the CDC to stop reporting the bad numbers that they still get from limited monitoring. Further, Biden has been unwilling to take action against a brewing bird flu epidemic which has crossed into humans. Biden has done nothing at all about the rise in trans hate crimes and hundreds of anti-trans laws passed under his watch.

    Biden isn't better than Trump. He's continuing Trump's policies. He literally just reinstated a Trump rule allowing hunters to shoot baby bears in their dens so there's less predators around for trophy elk hunting.

    Liberals were marching in the streets against Trump but when Biden didn't change a thing that Trump was actually doing it was back to brunch. Leftists are materialists: we base our thoughts and actions on reality. You liberals are idealists: someone politely shooting you in the face is better than someone doing it rudely.
