    I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone say they’re equally bad. I’ve seen a shitload of memes like this one that imply it’s widespread though.

      Exactly. It definitely isn’t a, “centrist,” position either, centrists are firmly behind Biden. It feels like something leftists who are considering voting third party might say, but again, it’s not something I’ve actually seen anyone say. This feels like a meme in search of a problem.

        In my experience people get a lot of that dumb camelcased “both sides” crap any time they make a legitimate criticism about Biden. It’s like a lot his supporters take a firm “with us or against us” stance. Which, ironically, is fucking exactly what the trump people do lol

          Yeah, that’s my sense as welll. This meme feels like it was written by the kind of person who responds to any criticism of Biden with, “Oh so you want Trump to win?”

      I’ve seen it a few times. You probably won’t see it much on lemmy since lemmy is pretty left leaning for the most part and doesn’t have as many of those types of centrists, but those people do exist on other sites that I’ve seen.
