Yes you need to acknowledge that your democracy is broken.

I acknowledge this.

Letting Trump burn the last of it won’t fix it though.

You're right. I think the concept of framing elections solely around who someone is not is an antipattern. Viewing it from this framing makes what the candidate stands for less important than who they are not, meaning it is less important to have a policy platform that is beneficial to the general populace. And I hate that.

Don't get me wrong, I really don't want trump to win, but I think it's wrong to simply fall in line because biden isn't trump. This line of thinking is what makes me so mad when I meet other queer folks who go "Well, he ain't a democrat and that's what matters," or a person deep in poverty who says something similar. I think people should be chastising him for his shit takes, mistakes, and support of genocidal states.
