There are a lot of reasons why people in this community would dislike your message. But on the very fundamental level you’re correct, voting for the less reactionary party is better. As you said “it’s a two party system”, but keep in mind that these parties are not two polar opposites that people have to split between. On the contrary, in most regards they’re protecting the same interests, which are never your average American’s. Of the things you mentioned would suffer under Trump here is what democrats did:
Abortion is illegal in 14 states and limited in many more
Trans rights are being repealed in multiple states, Florida being the leader in inhumane treatment of genderqueer people
Slavery is legal for prisoners (13th amendment), and prisons are at their most populated right now
Child labor protections are being rolled back and now we have tweens working nights in slaughterhouses
Worker strikes have been discouraged and killed
After the Uvalde shooting basically nothing was done about gun accessibility or cops’ response model
Immigration and environmental policies are pretty much carbon copy of Trump’s - more fracking, willow project, title 42 staying on for years, current proposals for metering the border
White nationalist rallies and general rhetoric are protected under the discrimination laws, yet a house representative gets an official reprimand for voicing her discontent with genocidal actions of Israel
American politics normally have a ratchet effect. GOP moves the country to the right, and stop Dems from any leftwing momentum. But Biden is straight up moving everything to the right himself. So either way you’re voting against the things that you mentioned you care about.
