Hyperbole is used to better illustrate a point by using extremes. Notice how you say I sounded like a deranged asshole. Bit extreme but I understand that you mean I came off rude because instead of just calling me rude you went much further than what a reasonable person would say to make the point more clear.
You understand what it means to be hyperbolic, understood what I meant when I was being hyperbolic, but still forced me to deconstruct it and make it sound more meek than what I intended.
Going up to people who are publicly considering withholding their vote over Biden’s handling of the situation in Gaza, calling them irrational, and demanding they do something they believe is against their morals is “asshole behavior.” It’s almost like you’re saying “the issue you care enough about that your willing to risk a second Trump term doesn’t matter to me.” This behavior is often referred to as “vote-scolding.”
I will probably still vote for Biden, but I understand why other won’t, and I don’t think he should be evaluated only in comparison to Trump.
He shouldn’t only be evaluated by Trump except in the case of when you have two options - Biden or Trump. Then that is literally the time to evaluate him in comparison to Trump.

Now that’s a bit rude, isn’t it?
The hyperbole isn’t what I care about.
