Well look, we've got two capitalist parties and both of them are bad in different ways. You might reasonably argue that Biden would yield better domestic policy w.r.t. culture war stuff, and that Trump would (through sheer incompetence / disregard of state bureaucracy / campism from the arguer) result in better foreign policy, etc. etc. I think that means that Biden is not strictly better than Trump. Which tradeoffs to take is an analytical task that's beyond me; depends on how ready the left is to respond. Luckily I live in a blue state so my presidential vote doesn't matter.

If your state has an uncommitted option in the primary, I encourage you to do that. The campaign in Michigan clearly spooked the Dems, and the same result in more states might result in federal policy changes.

Or vote for other Dems (e.g., local elections) but do not vote for president.
