It's a problem, but you have to stop and ask yourself, which candidate made it possible to push it that way? Biden or Trump? Which candidate is morally opposed to those things? Biden or Trump?
Of all the logical fallacies, a false equivalency is by far the most egregious because it creates a pernicious logical argument that is ultimately destructive.
