No, Republicans would have done worse. They would have likely encouraged Bibi to go hard instead of pushing the brakes on him to slow him down.

I heard a recent argument by Chris Hedges that Biden should be punished for his aiding of the killing of civilians, by voting for Trump. While that has logical basis in that you should be punished for doing this, the punishment is very likely going result in even more dead people. And for me it means that, somewhat paradoxically, voting Democrat is still "the right thing" to do.

It's sad when both the Democrat and Republican presidential candidates today are both worse than Ronald Reagan.

That's not the only way they can be compared to Ronald Reagan. I think at this point we're pretty much guaranteed to have some dementia in office.
