      Some people out there see him as the anti-war candidate since he didn’t start any new wars in his first term. The bar is so pathetically low on candidates and warmongering

        But they said voting for the lesser evil has only made things worse. Isn’t Biden an improvement?

          Lesser Evil, Greater Evil, all still evil.

          It’s like saying it’s okay to take one step back because it could’ve been two.

            I’m just having trouble understanding how it’s a step back. Isn’t it a step forward from where we were?

            Like we got public infrastructure investments, money for renewable energy, funding for high speed rail. We wouldn’t have any of those things if trump had won another term. It seems more like a little geriatric step forward than a step back.
