Im not going to argue Biden is worse in a literal sense, but heres how I see it.

Trumps foreign policy was objectively worse than Obamas, on one hand he was basically just antagonizing other nations depending on his whims, and on the other he was a textbook neocon who broke off peace talks because thats what he does.

Now we have Biden, and he has the opportunity to immediately reverse course and go back to the Obama positions, but hes not.

I think its worse than Trump is bombast and while technically wrong, is the sort of thing where we were told it would be SOO much better, and its not. Being lied to/disappointed hurts more than getting the shit sandwich you expected, basically.

I mean I agree that Biden has been more of an immense disappointment, which feels worse even if it isn't.

I'm not going to dig too deep in this but I strongly disagree with the idea that it's whataboutism. It would be if I was trying to excuse Biden, but I'm not. A lot of people are though, so I get it. Most of his policy is still unacceptably bad. I'm just trying to acknowledge the reality that Biden is a marginal improvement, and when I say that I literally do mean marginal. I also agree with you that it's not a USEFUL comparison to make most of the time, but when people are trying to directly compare them I think it's warranted.
