I am disturbed that there's a good possibility that our next president will be Joe Biden.

I am even more disturbed by the possibility that some people might refuse to vote for Biden in the general election.

Trump is much worse than Biden in every way. This isn't a close call.
Biden botched the investigation into Clarence Thomas and failed to do his duty — but he never would have *nominated* Thomas. Trump nominated an even worse Supreme Court Justice and will do so again if given the opportunity.
Biden was unconscionably silent during the Kavanaugh hearings. Trump *appointed* Kavanaugh. The two are not comparable.
Biden invades women's space and makes constant sexist comments, and his conduct towards Harris has been particularly appalling — but he also got the Violence Against Women Act through Congress.

Trump bragged about sexual assault and obstructs all legislation benefitting women.
Biden makes a lot of racist comments and has a very troubling history on issues like the Crime Bill, but he also cares about being on good terms with the black community and has a lot of strong relationships there.

Trump regularly incites white nationalist violence.
Biden is relatively conservative about healthcare reform, but he also wants to defend the ACA and build on it.

Trump has been working to undo the ACA and destroy our healthcare system since the moment he took office.
Biden supported the Hyde amendment for decades, and it's unclear that he sees the right to access abortion as a priority, but he's on record as believing that it's a Constitutional right.

Trump has been attacking abortion providers and appointing radical anti-abortion judges.
Biden believes a lot of harmful and condescending things about marginalized people, but he also supports the right to vote.

Trump is so committed to vote suppression that he involves foreign countries in attacking our elections.

If we lose the ballot, we lose everything.
This is not a close call. Any area in which you might find Biden objectionable — and I certainly have a lot of those objections — Trump is much worse in that area.

If Biden is the nominee, it should not become difficult to decide who to vote for in the general election.
