    And this is exactly how nothing ever gets done

    I disagree, i think insisting on accepting a binary choice is how nothing ever gets done.

      So when I said we should be more nuanced… That equals BINARY THINKING FOREVER, or what?

        Not at all, I agree we should be more nuanced, but I think the ‘Biden is better than Trump’ insistence is what leads to this kind of petty argument to begin with. There’s a reason why those people are saying “biden is just as bad as trump” - they’re being forced into choosing between them, when the spectrum of available action is much broader than ‘vote or don’t vote’, including leveraging that action as a bargaining chip to improve the options on offer.

        people are behaving as if there’s nothing to do about Biden’s inadequacies, and those are the people who seem to lack nuanced thinking.
