"When you vote for the lesser of two evils what happens? You always get evil, and you always get less" - who knows but I heard it somewhere
Genocide Joe vs Trump is a debate over whether to drive off a cliff while following the speed limit or at 120 MPH.
The best possible argument you can make for Biden is that the left isn't organized enough to be endorsing accelerationism
It's not a real good one
Because we always vote for the lesser of two evils, we now have a system where candidates can be as evil as they want as long as the other candidate is more evil. There is no incentive to be anything except slightly less ghoulish than the other person. And even then, they can usually get away with being more ghoulish than the other person if it fits well enough into the current bigoted zeitgeist.
I remember reading something like that from one of the Witcher books from that one Pole writer.

The point of this quote by Geralt in the story is that Geralt is wrong and using it as an excuse to avoid taking action to protect innocent lives. The result of this stance of his is that he butchers several people in a public square and gets driven out of town and forever labeled "The Butcher of Blaviken." Only a couple pages after this 'evil is evil' monologue he says, verbatim, "We have to choose the lesser evil!"
