Trump was a disaster, and cannot win another election. He, and all conservatives for that matter, are an existential threat to America. Biden must be reelected.
That does not mean we must support every decision Biden makes. That does not mean he or the Democrats are immune to criticism.
Two things can be true.

Of course. I don’t think anyone is saying that. What pisses people off so much is equating the two or just generally dismissing the good things biden actually does because he doesn’t live up to ideals people have in their head (as if anyone could)

I don’t think anyone is genuinely saying that both sides are the same, either. There are conservatives who want moderates to think both sides are the same, but that’s just a talking point.
There are Democrats who sincerely say that any criticism of Biden in an election year is providing aid to Trump, Putin, et al. They might not support every decision, but they will attack anyone who is vocally critical.

Since 2015 I’ve been hearing all about Democrats and Republicans being the same, and it’s only gotten worse since then.
“Any criticism” being considered dangerous is not what I see at all. I see that when people talk about Biden “supporting genocide” that’s called out as not exactly true and when Biden does something good it’s dismissed outright, that gets pushback too. As it should. Also people advocating for protest votes are considered dangerous. Because they are. This shit gave us trump already, and it’s really ridiculous to see the same kinds of sentiment so strong again.
I think a lot of it is canvassing and not real sentiment, but that shit leads to real sentiment. It’s toxic and should be seen for what it is.
