also, biden isn't depicted in your analogy at all. he's more like the emporer: more experienced as a statesman, older, but even more evil.

That's kind of unavoidable when comparing politicians to what ultimately equate to super heroes and super villans.

The point of that graphic is to show how the spoiler effect works, not to say that Biden is good.

Biden is old and evil, but preferable to Trump.

that's not a reason to vote for him if there are candidates i don't think are evil.

The candidates who aren't evil aren't going to win.

that's not a reason to empower evil people.

They're already empowered. We have a limited ability to influence things. Use it for good, for harm reduction.

Quit pissing away your vote. It's just going to get trans people killed when Trump wins.

harm reduction has a specific meaning. voting is not harm reduction.

Welcome to being human, words mean different things in different contexts and can be used in new and interesting ways all the time.
