Is anybody here clinging to Biden? Would you please point them out?


This thread is oozing with cope. I don't see a single leftoid saying anything honest. If things go badly and your guy's in, it's because shit happens and the president is powerless to stop it. If things go badly and the president is orange, then he's a cartoon villain who pressed a big red button to cause a chasm to open up in the earth's crust and unleash a thousand years of darkness. You've never said an honest thing in your life, and this is indisputable, you lose, buh bye.

American democracy survived Trump, it will survive Biden.

Except that staying in Afghanistan would have been easy. It being unpopular with the American public doesn't matter one bit, which is why we were there for 20 years. He would have come out and said "Oh, we can't leave safely, so we'll delay it a bit longer" just like Obama did, just like Trump did until he had one foot out the door.

That would be a broken promise and would have required actively directing the military to scrap ongoing preparations, which would have found its way into the press, and so on.

There's been plenty of testimony by military brass on why they gave up Bagram. It was impossible to maintain without a significant expenditure of forces backing up the Afghani government. It was not some unilateral decision by Biden to give up the air base. Trump would have had the same generals telling him the exact same thing.

I was not talking about permanently keeping Bagram Air Base, I was talking about the decision to give up this base first during the process of drawing down and planning to use a civilian airport in the middle of a dense, urban, potentially hostile city for the final steps of the evacuation. Had Bagram been the last base to be left behind, the takeover of the Taliban wouldn't have mattered - all the U.S. troops, all the diplomats, Western persons and local helpers could have waited on an easily secured air field in the middle of nowhere with plenty of space. Instead, Biden had to send in the 82nd Airborne to barely prevent a repeat of the Iran hostage crisis after a tense standoff with the taliban in the middle of Kabul.

Of all the things that are hard to pretend, the hardest must be pretending the Afghanistan withdrawal had to be that messy

Shitty, sure, but what was the alternative? Another couple decades and hundreds more US deaths?

It's OK, you are wrong. Biden has zero control over an oil companies production.

The industry is still trying to recover its losses from during the pandemic, when demand for oil cratered and prices briefly plunged to negative levels. Likewise, while the number of active rigs in the U.S. continues to rise after that 2020 crash, oil companies, like most other industries, are struggling to hire workers and procure equipment amid the ongoing supply chain backlog.

Crude oil was trading around $126 per barrel Tuesday, 58 percent higher than the roughly $80 per barrel it was at before Russia’s aggression against Ukraine roiled the market. That price, which makes up over half the total cost per gallon of gas, is based on global demand — something Biden has even less control over than how much your local Exxon station charges.


Trump was responsible for the pandemic, now Biden is responsible.

Screeching that they'd shut down the virus in no time didn't work out so well or did it ;)

So many Chicken Littles in America now. Why are millineals trained to be so anxious and dramatic?

There is no new world order outside of capitalism, and the only challenger to that in america politics is Bernie sanders.

Capitalism is the world order and it's great at creating new ghettos, apartheids, and slums.

Biden sucks, we'll pick another one soon. Haven't had a good one in awhile.
