Only one of them wants to actively kill my queer friends, so yeah, it matters.

Both of them want to actively kill Palestinians, including its queer population. "The lesser evil" one is currently bypassing congress to do so

Sounding alot like this rn

No queer friends in Palestine, I'm guessing. But even if only people in the US deserve life, Biden isn't doing anything to stop LGBQT rights from being dismantled. It will get worse even if Biden wins a second term. If Democrats didn't codify Roe v. Wade when they had the chance, why do you think they will do anything concrete to protect them, when they can use their fear to scare them into voting for them.

Yup, the same dynamic as the right and immigration. More to gain using as a political football instead. The tactics are from the same, cynical playbook, and partisans are happy to play along when it's their team.

Biden only passively wants to kill us and is willing to look the other way when states do it, youre right.

Geopolitics is actually one of those examples where it does matter quite a lot. All the planning world leaders does gets thrown out the window when someone new comes on to the stage. For example I don't think anyone could have predicted America being nice to NK under Trump.

it matters. one is an accelerationist the other is a conservative of the status quo. neither are going to improve anything but one will try his most to destroy any confidence.
