You don't have to think they are functionally different, or even think that the Democrat party is good on the whole, to recognize that it's better that one administration mostly worked within the spirit of the law while the other went the violent nazi route.
That doesn't even mean Obama's deportations were the right thing to do. Something can be morally wrong and strategically ill-advised and there can still be WAY worse options.
And as for the attitudes here, I don't have an argument either way. What I can definitely say is that the argument of whether you are an evil capitalist genocide supporter for voting for Biden or Harris in order to avoid the current Trump administration was all the rage in '23-'24.
edit to add: I forgot my conclusion that thanks to our right-leaning culture and flawed voting system enforcing the 2-party thing, in addition to the electoral college being biased in favor of red states, every election in this country is like the trolley problem! You can vote for somebody who is actually kinda against your values, or you can do nothing and watch Putin's plans come to fruition or whatever the hell this country is now.
