The argument I've heard most is that a minor setback for fascism is better than allowing it to advance full force. So, that's argument you made yourself in the article ("all that's changed with Biden's election is that some parts of it might possibly not be as bad") and I suppose you value that less than the strategic voters which is fine.

The politicians we get to choose from are quite different depending on their party though, right? Obviously none are radical or revolutionaries but the ones who might be able to work towards that eventually and the ones who the left would prefer to have the president's ear all seem to be within the blue team.

So that's the possible win as I see it, though I agree it's not exactly cause for celebration :/

Why is there such a need to quote

Biden from almost 50 years ago? I know I have changed over 50 years. He has admitted to mistakes and by doing this he has a conscience and this doesn't support fascism. Your view is too cynical for me. I think we are capable of growing and changing when a descent human being is in office, unlike Trump who would have greatly benefitted in a fascist country and who would never have left office. I think we will look back in history and consider this is the closest to fascism we have ever been during the Trump administration. Right now we look like a banana republic to the rest of the world.
