    America deserves better than trump or Biden

    Yes, you do.

    But, the administration of every president in my living memory would likely have reacted the same way. There seems to be an impressive inertia in the USA’s Middle East bullshit that seems to transcend president and party.

        Ah yes, the famously anti-escalation Obama.

          Better than Biden…

          Thats my point. “Lesser of two evils” doesn’t work, because the two choices keep getting more evil.

          I was pissed at Obama the majority of his 8 years, but that doesn’t mean he was worse than Biden.

          Like, you do remember that Biden was paired with Obama by the DNC to counter his perceived progressiveness, right? Doesn’t matter what lies he tells running for office, Biden was and is a backslide for the democratic party.

            In terms of escalation? Obama absolutely was not better.

            Obviously in the vast majority of other ways he was, but let’s not pretend that Obama didn’t have the option of ending the forever war instead of quadrupling down with the surge
