If your reflex argument is “My guy sucks but Trump does too” it’s not an argument that’s going to drive people to go vote Biden. That’s an argument for apathy, which is kind of the point of the screenshot.
The post you’re replying to wasn’t a judgement call on who was better, they’re just pointing out that these issues are what drive people’s votes. If people feel like their situation sucks, they’ll want to vote for a change. People don’t vote by hard analysis.
