Your mistake is thinking this was a binary choice. The reality is that both Trump and Biden were competing to convince people to come out and vote. Not to vote for them but just to vote. Nearly everyone would already know if they’d vote Democrat or Republican, the only question was whether they were going to vote at all. Unfortunately Republican and Democrat voters require different motivations.
For Republicans all they need is a target. Someone to be angry at and blame all their problems on. Trump gives them that in spades. They just want someone to tell them it’s someone else’s fault their life is shit but that they’ve got a plan to fix it by making someone else suffer. Trump was only too happy to do exactly that.
Democrats meanwhile want to hear exactly how a candidate is planning on fixing problems. Usually not just any problems either, but specifically the problems they care about most. That could be global warming, racism, the wealth gap, workers rights, gun violence, the genocide in Palestine, the housing market, or something else entirely. That is what motivates them to show up to the polls. Biden (and then Harris) largely failed to do that. Instead he put forward plans that either inched towards solving those problems at a snails pace, or like in the case of Palestine outright ignored the problem.
So yes, Biden is objectively a better president than Trump in every metric except for one. The one that actually mattered. The ability to convince people to get off their asses and head to the polls. Honestly at this point the problem isn’t even Biden or even Harris, it’s the entire DNC and their milquetoast platform.
Ah look someone on the “left” trying to convince people not to vote for the democrat because of Palestine. You must be so happy that this wont be an issue next election because Trump will ensure Palestine doesn’t exist.
If after reading everything I said that was your takeaway I don’t think there’s any point in continuing to talk as you’re very clearly either not actually reading what was written, or else so utterly failing to understand I have to wonder if it’s willful ignorance.
Ah look someone on the “left” trying to convince people not to vote for the democrat because of Palestine.
The election is over. That ship has sailed.
You must be so happy that you’re not only getting the genocide you wanted, but you can also blame everyone to your left for it. They tried to warn you. You didn’t listen.

I’m not blaming people to my left. You arent to the left of me. You’re to the right.
Genocide is a right-wing policy. I don’t support it. You do.
Liberals love genocide, it’s why both parties support it and treat it as equaling out.
“If both sides have normalized genocide, neither side is worse than the other. So why not support the genocide to go harder?”
