I agree that there is probably some way the withdrawal could have gone better, but at the same time, I've neither done the research, nor do I understand the complex geopolitical issues revolving around Afghanistan. So ,I don't feel like I have any business saying "You should've just done it better", because I don't know the constraints we're working with. Even the things I do know (twenty years of mismanagement and moved goalposts regarding the end goal of the war, Trump drawing down our troops after making a deal with the Taliban and releasing 5,000 freedom fighters, congress refusing to take any action that would give any hope of benefiting our Afghani allies) still leave a plethora of unanswered questions.

I just feel like accepting this idea that "do it better" is a reasonable response to a complicated issue...brings up so many greater problems with our society. And yeah, there is a certain level of defensiveness, specifically because people are blaming Biden for not having an easy solution to an extremely complicated problem. It's this same backlash that caused us to stay in Afghanistan for nearly two decades in the first place. We should expect better of our population; we should be smarter than this. That's where my head is at.

Well, you have to realize I listed a good bit of new criticisms coming up about him. While people zeroed in on one, there was many. And what is forming when all of it is put together is a bumbling idiot criticism.

I will admit when people i talk politics with in real life bring up this stuff, I actually agree with them. Recently it has looked bad. I explain that a president can do bad and good. They all do. Even people who were against Trump if not a partisan polarized hack have to admit he had some decent ideas and did some good things. It isn't someone is bad or good. It's a mixture. It's finding where it balances out at.
