"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.
perfect analogy
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
It's also important to remember that the president isn't truly selected by votes - it's very possible to get the most votes and still lose.
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!"
