My biggest fear is that the USA always gets to chose someone who does not represent them at all but at least had the notion that we need a planet to live in

That's the part you're missing. People are legitimately asking themselves "If these two people are my only choices and won't improve my quality of life do I want to keep living?"

But again, maybe Biden is the status quo which is not great I admit, but Trump is torture then death... How is that even a "close" call to make?

Again you are not fully empathizing with people's experience under... whoever for the last 20ish years. Some "young" people who are now in their 30s and 40s never really recovered from the financial crisis. Each day is already torture working a dead end job with shit pay where customers scream at them only to return to a tiny apartment with rent creeping up every single month.
