Neither potential president will really preside. One is barely capable at best, the other was NEVER capable.
You're not really voting for president, because neither is viable. You're voting for parties and what they may indulge. You keep talking figureheads. Keep refusing to elect anyone capable of being personally more powerful than that, while essentially admitting you could replace them with almost anyone from their respective parties, and that the optics of doing so is worse than current.

The president only works against the fascist threat if he is head of a broad coalition with a strong antifascist commonality.
If the Dems don't learn to mirror what Macron triggered and the left wing of France used people power to do, and combine that more successfully with a slightly diminished cult of the American president, the far right will take America.
Let the progressives have more power, broaden the candidacy, or you're fucked.

You're caught in loops about replacing Biden as the far right could never be about replacing Trump. His kind are ten a penny, found in bars, and golf clubs, and brothels, all over the world, Farage's, Orban's, they're utterly replaceable. They lead only because that's what the paranoid religious cults, and democracy subverting neonazi groups of their home states primed them for. From the church to mobs of football hooligans. Nazi bars etc.

Hitler himself would have been utterly repulsed by how ridiculous Trump is. He's no member of the master race, that's for damn sure. He'd have ordered him shot on the transition of power without speaking to him if at all possible. That's the living persona behind their movement.
Trump can never be truly lionised. They're at peace with that. If the USA goes fully authoritarian state he'll be erased, and you will hear only of the will of god.

This kind of overinvestment into this almost messianic cult of the president is part of America's whole problem.
You don't have a candidate worthy of the power of the office. You haven't invested in democracy enough for that to be your contemporary reality. You need to reaffirm for yourselves that your collective cause is more important than the president. A massive psychological reaffirmation of antifascism. You put out that call to a nation.

...and why is this important?
Because Trumpians may be a cult, but what you don't understand, is behind it, is christofascism, the modern western continuation of fascism. The Nazis and the neonazis. Sanctified under a god that is uniquely theirs, and theirs alone.
To most modern Americans the president is almost a diety. But to a christofascist, god is the only diety. That god can be seen in anyine and anything they want to.
Trump is an expendable tool. More than you and he realises.

You are afraid of Trump. This ridiculous orange freak who speaks in tongues fit only for the asylum.
But you've forgotten how the Nazi core seems him. He's a tool. He could be a dog shit, a spork, a half eaten week old sandwich. He's a tool of god. That to know him is to be degraded, to listen to him to be made dumber, to see him, repulsed.
It doesn't matter. To them he is a mess to an end. His utility far more important than his worth.

If you're voting to keep the hardcore fascist ideals of an oligarchy that has already veered too far in that direction out of office, you create a movement, not a presidential figurehead, let alone prop one up that is broken.. You show the citizens the importance of social cohesion and collective action to resist a great threat.
If you were the kind of scum that wants fascism, you'd still need better than Trump, because he's an insane, perverted, gibberingly insane cartoon character.

The Nazis taking over the republicans know that Trump is just a big old handful of shit to throw at an incumbent president. He is a clown. He's designed to be. An infestation of fervour, not logic. He's the tool of their own personal jesus. He's the holy bag of shit. The exploding toilet of the Nazi transformation.
They know. Now act like you do.
