Despite his lip-service to democracy and human rights, Biden keeps embracing autocrats and would-be autocrats

I think this is pretty untrue; Biden is significantly better from a domestic and foreign policy perspective.

Trump is a wannabe authoritarian who would absolutely praise Modi's actions. Biden believes in human rights and democratic systems.

Biden, for example supports:

  • Ukraine, and not Russia
  • US Democratic systems and traditions.
  • Paris Climate Agreement
  • Green New Deal
  • Cover pre-existing conditions
  • Let states legalize marijuana
  • Public service student loan forgiveness
  • Path to Citizenship (DAPA and DACA
  • Reproductive rights
  • Funding the IRS to make sure the rich pay their fair share.

Trump, in contrast:

  • Attempted blackmail on Ukraine, and supports Russia.
  • Attempted a coup, and tried to usurp US Democratic systems and traditions.
  • Leasing public lands for drilling and mining
  • Cutting food stamps
  • Tax cuts for rich
  • Muslim Ban
  • Cut refugee resettlements
  • Spend billions and steal land for Wall
  • Federal death penalty
  • Transgender Ban

Trump and Biden are very different.

Edit: clarity

Trump and Biden are very different.

Not different enough, for me.
