The only argument I can think of to vote for Joe Biden is that, in theory, a Biden administration would be possessed of some measure of greater competence and less malice such that our country could manage a pandemic better.

That& #39;s literally it.

I can& #39;t think of another one.

I certainly can& #39;t think of an ethical argument or one that benefits anyone I know or even myself in any way other than a short-term alleviation of relative suffering.

I& #39;m not even sure it& #39;s better in the long-run, horrifyingly.

Basically, would a Biden Presidency buy us enough time to do more foundational work to prepare for the ramifications of a worse fascist backlash than what we& #39;d experience with four more years of Trump in the immediate future?

I don& #39;t know.

I don& #39;t think anyone does.

You CANNOT compare the two 1:1. It& #39;s definitely true to say a Biden administration would be less actively malicious and less actively disastrous.

That& #39;s so low a bar as to be irrelevant, it& #39;s also a question of active versus passive harm.

It& #39;s a question of tactics.
