倒不如 is a set phrase used to compare two options: it can mean "it would be better to" (as a suggest for a better alternative) or "be no better than" (when comparing two things or actions that are similarly unsatisfactory). It often appears in the structure A 倒不如 B, where A is the less preferred option and B is the suggested alternative or the equivalent. Note that in this phrase, the character 倒 should be pronounced dào (fourth tone) in standard Mandarin, though the source pinyin here is given as dǎo (third tone), which is likely a typo.
