As for this part, I have some reservations:

The environmental devastation we’ve embarked upon is a compounding set of interwoven problems that do not offer the luxury of time. Biden’s center right politics may be an improvement over Trump’s lunacy but it’s not a change of direction only a change of tempo. When you’re about to crash into a brick wall slowing down from 95 to 60 isn’t pragmatic. And in terms of social justice, it’s clear that Biden will not address hunger, homelessness, and lack of health care. Whether he has the support of black people or not, people of color will continue to suffer under Biden. The wealth disparity will continue to grow under his policies so in fact life for the disenfranchised will continue to get worse. Maybe at a slower clip than under Trump but still it will not stop getting worse. Housing will continue to be bought up and hoarded by the rich under the policies of Biden. That will mean the continuation of rent increases and pricing out the poor so more homelessness while the rich live in mansions. The affordable care act sucks. You can’t build on it because it’s nothing but a corporate power grab. The democrats can gain control of the house and senate and the presidency and we’ll see that at their core they’re all about the rich getting richer and the poor getting ****ed with a broken glass *****. I used the driving into a wall analogy. I’m not excited about the guy with a 22 pointed at me just because the other guy has a 45. 22’s do more damage than people think.

Nice metaphor about the car into the wall, but what sources do you have for those speeds? If the car is, instead, going at 60 m.p.h and slows to 10 m.p.h., that's a difference between death and slight damage, so voting for the 10 m.p.h option looks like a good choice.
Biden, afaik, is at least talking about touching the brakes on pollution, corruption, racial division. Trump has his foot on the gas.
There's also a lot of flat-out prophecy in your comments: I count 7 sentences with "will". Last time I read that many predictions was in Nostradamos.
But what Biden might do is not so certain, especially if characters like Sanders, AOC and Markey are in the mix and BLM keep pushing for change. How can you be so sure when most commentators agree that these are extraordinary times in the US: just today, for instance, the Attorney General told America that he didn't know if it was illegal to vote twice. Who could've seen that coming?
If you can't bring yourself to place any trust in Biden, at least let's not condemn his debate performance and his admin before they have had a chance.
