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

Ah yes, the famously anti-escalation Obama.
Better than Biden…
