And Trump wants to deport 20 million people, yea, exactly the same.
He didn't say anything about exactly the same, just that they both suck. Dems want to shoot you with .22 caliber rounds in the extremities cause it's not lethal, while the Trumptards want to shoot off your arms with explosive .50 cal to get the "necessary amputation" done quick. One of those is 100% objectively worse, but some people would ideally like an option that doesn't involve getting shot at all. Pointing out that getting shot sucks regardless of who is pulling the trigger shouldn't be all that controversial.
The problem with your analogy is the third choice wasn't don't get shot. We had three choices.
This wasn't the trolley car problem. Simple game theory can be applied.
I agree the Dems need to do better but Trump is objectively worse in every way. Forget his political views, he's just a garbage human being. He's everything that's bad about humanity, or at least of capitalism, and it saddens me that 60% of my fellow Americans are just cool with that.
