...he's 1,000x better than the alternative, right GGoss?

You will be supporting and voting for Biden in 2024, right, GGoss?

Or...?

He got the best deal possible out of only bad options. There were no good options here.

Every president has broken a promise but Biden's intent here is good.

I admire a president that works towards mitigating harm where they can. It isn't ideal but the agreement was inked long before he became president.

So wait 6 months without any change to the original agreement or negotiate it to be much less harmful than it would have been.

When something like this comes up I find it a bit disingenuous to ignore all of the good he's done. I don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I'll be voting for him here in the battleground state of Wisconsin because I'm a Democrat and that's what Democrats do. Nobody gets to have their own perfect candidate. Time to grow up.
