That's like comparing cyanide to a can of Pepsi. Yeah maybe Pepsi isn't great for you, it's not what the body needs but the other one is literal fucking poison.

That's the thing: Both are literal fucking poison, only one will kill you fast while the other will kill you slowly. Giving the former latter to someone suffering from the former isn't just "not great for you;" it's going to hasten the host's demise.

No they are not both literal fucking poison. One is mostly water and the other one is actual poison. You CHUDs going around spreading that Harris is equally as bad as Trump are half the reason we're in this mess that we absolutely would not be in even with the worst of the Dems in charge. If you want to spread Russian propaganda to tell it to a mirror, at least that way you're only hurting yourself. Or if you really believe the shit you're saying then go drink both and report back on your findings!

Why should I? America already has and we're seeing the results now. Or do you seriously think the onset of fascism had nothing to do with decades of worsening quality of life that neoliberals did nothing or barely nothing to address while blocking all serious progress for as long as possible?

Right, why should you back up the point you already made when you can double down and make another. Do you have a personalized copy of Foundations of Geopolitics or do you work for The Heritage Foundation?
