I’m not a Biden superfan either but I think people need to be aware of the reality. I have kids that don’t feel like voting because “Biden does not excite them”. While he doesn’t excite me either, it’s important to understand that not voting for Biden is essentially a step in the direction of the “other guy”, which happens to me MUCH MUCH WORSE than Biden.
It’s naive to think that you can go from a to z without going through b, c, d, etc… We don’t vote for the ideal candidate, we vote for one that at least seems to be pointing in the right direction and has a chance to win.
Also remember that this whole “both sides are the same shit, so why vote” idea was spread around exactly to discourage people from voting. It’s key to be mindful of that.
Well, to be honest the ruble has been sucking for a while:

However, it now sucks more.
