afghanistan was trump anyway, the doha accord was signed in early 2020 and most of the withdrawal was done between election day and inauguration day
Yeah, and honestly good on Trump for moving the agreement forward, but I'm not sure he would have actually gone through with it. The shit show that was the withdrawal honestly went better than I expected, who knows how much of that was due to Biden though.
Geo politics wise, I kinda feel like Trump was marginally better, still a ghoul tho.
Biden does get a point for a little bit of student loan relief, and he's not drumming up Nazi rallies... So that's nice.
Trump helped develop the psychotic social structure that got my mom killed from COVID too. Not going to forgive or forget that....
I guess life under the Biden regime is a hair better, generally two hairs more peaceful domestically too.
But at the end of the day I'm white and decently established, so my day to day life isn't impacted as much as others, even with me being trans. So I'll be deferring to comrades who it does effect more and vote for harm reduction if there's a common consensus.
I think people really underestimate how dangerous almost going to war with Iran a couple of times was.
I guess there was also the Bay of Piglets in Venezuela and the sanctions that Trump put in place on China that Biden has continued, and made even worse.
Fuk... He did so much insane crap I forgot about that. I feel like the invasion of Iran would have been the most humiliating defeat in history though... Until Trump decided that it was nuke time, which I could see him being excited to do.
Trump didn't do it because it was the right thing tondonteump did it because he thought it was a poison pill for Biden.
He tried multuple tunes to start a war with Iran, that's setting aside him threatening to nuke North Korea on Twitter.
Trump isn't an anti imperialist he just mister magoo'd his way through not starting any more wars because he was too busy stripping shit for parts.
