Now that we've established you're not talking to me in bad faith like several others have been:
My point, like the meme's, is that there's a stark difference between the terms "Lesser Evil" and "Good." The DNC is clearly the Lesser Evil contrasted against the open march to fascism that the GOP has embraced. That doesn't mean they're The Good Guys Above Reproach. Note that Side A still has tally marks of Bad.
Ironically, the people who puff out their chest and declare they are enlightened enough to vilify the DNC for being just as bad as the GOP view the world in a Disney, Good or Evil sense. "DNC did a bad? Then they are Evil and must be fought no matter the cost." Politics has much more nuance than that, and is usually all about making alliances with people you don't like with to tackle issues you both agree on. I sincerely doubt any of the people viewing politics in such black and white terms apply that same logic to people they know, otherwise they'd be murdering people for cutting them off in traffic, or going no contact with family because they forgot to send them a birthday present. Maybe they do believe it, so they're chronically online rather than engaging with flesh and blood humans in meat-space. Maybe they're just propagandists and don't actually believe what they write.
When the DNC is right, I'd work with them. When they're wrong, I'd work against them.
The US primaries are over, save for runoffs I'm not aware of. Painting the DNC as just as bad as the GOP now serves only to drive voter apathy, which is a huge boost to GOP victory odds as we've seen in the past, especially recently. It's also been proven to be a huge motive of international election interfering interests, e.g. Russia and China; anyone who hates progressives, minorities, democracy, etc. stands to gain from the GOP winning.
TL;DR: The meme puts the above logic much more succinctly, and OP's title fills in most of the gaps.
