This is the trolley problem. “Voting for Biden” is pulling the switch to divert the trolley onto the track which kills one person instead of five (although there may be disagreement on how many people are tied to each track).
I totally get the “I didn’t fucking ask for this choice to be put in front of me, so I’m not playing at all” outlook, but the fact is that the choice is there, and doing nothing is a choice.
Oh, so now I AM in a position to criticize the candidates that represent me, AND do so, but it’s… what, disqualified because I also defend them from the charge of being the MORE genocidal choice that will cause millions more deaths?
May I shift gears here for a moment?

nobody tell him the engineer on board has time to hit the breaks
Oh, cool, so if he doesn’t do that, fuck those other four people, right? You have no obligation to do anything except watch them die.
“Biden has no obligation to hit the breaks because genocide is too popular”
“If Biden is a bad person, it’s okay to let millions more be murdered by literal fascists. I Am Very Moral”
“I am in no position to criticize the candidates that represent me”
God knows I’ve never criticized Biden or Israeli genocide. /s
God knows you’ve never defended them, either.

All-in or all-against, is it?
Them’s the brakes.
