Buck stops with him. He’s certainly not the stellar commander in chief Donald was .as the Commander in Chief, if Biden wasn't responsible who else would be ?
100% agree.Biden Yes, Supporters No.
A lot of mistakes were made. I don't blame Biden supporters, the same way Trump supports shouldn't be blamed for political decisions. I recognize that was a popular thing to do over the last several years, but just pushes people further into their corners.
The 'and' in the question is beyond weird. My Mother in Law is a Biden supporter. Should I go chastise her for being responsible for the death of our soldiers?
Let's be honest with the situation at least. Biden's decisions put those troops at risk. They were all sitting at home in America 2 weeks earlier.13 soldiers unfortunately died under Biden, 64 under Trump. Is Trump responsible for those 64? There's your answer.
And Trump had 4 years to withdrawal our troops and didn't.Let's be honest with the situation at least. Biden's decisions put those troops at risk. They were all sitting at home in America 2 weeks earlier.

The OP would seem to indicate that the answer is probably yes. Apparently anyone who voted for Biden has blood on their hands (figuratively).
This seems closest to 'truth' to me. Everybody since Bush has been kicking this can down the road. Biden finally said enough is enough, but didn't have a sound strategy for doing so.Yes/No
Biden deserves some criticism.
George Bush deserves some criticism.
Barak Obama deserves some criticism.
Donald Trump deserves some criticism.
The decision to go, and stay, in Afghanistan always meant lives would be lost. These soldiers were simply the last to die in Afghanistan - in this war.
The decision to leave Afghanistan is in the long-term best interests of the country. It was, is, and will be, a messy separation - and it will impact many lives. Could this have been planned better? Probably. But, I don't know that better planning stops a suicide bomber. Its tragic, but it's a cost for going in the first place.
There is no probably about it. The withdraw was a disaster. We ignored the intelligence and tried to pretend things were better than they were. These mistakes directly cost American lives.Yes/No

That so-called commander in chief had 4 years to get the troops out. He was too much of a coward to follow through. Not my idea of a leader.Buck stops with him. He’s certainly not the stellar commander in chief Donald was .
This is the one and only reason Trump didn't get the troops out himself.Nobody wants to look bad and cause a stain on their 'legacy'.

Do Joe Biden and his supporters have responsibility for the American soldiers killed in the Afghan "evacuation?"
Biden, yes. His supporters? Absolutely not. Politicians lie and change agenda's all the time.
It is absurd to put any responsibility on voters or supporters for the decisions a politician make after they are voted into office.
What a horrible and divisive way to propose a question.
Was Biden's decision making ability ever at question as you considered him as a candidate?
Biden, yes. His supporters? Absolutely not. Politicians lie and change agenda's all the time. It is absurd to put any responsibility on voters or supporters for the decisions a politician make after they are voted into office.
What a horrible and divisive way to propose a question.
That has been a recent trend among some polls done on this forum. See "Is Joe Biden A Bad President?" thread - the OP there gives us two choices that are essentially "Yes" and "Yes" and there is no 3rd option do disagree with his premise that Biden is a bad President.
Should you of added a third option where since Trump was such a awful GOP choice his supporters are responsible for providing such a lame GOP choice forcing some of us to vote for Biden. A mistake made by Biden in the timing of the withdrawal but voting for a treasonous Trump was not an option.
Third option should have been "Not Good"
What was your point of adding "and his supporters" into the question without adding a second answer in your poll?
That was already covered by the answer "Yes, he is a bad President"
Shouldn't we hold voters accountable for bad votes...at least try to help them see the error of their ways?
There is a small difference in really bad and not good.
Just ludicrous. Everyone who voted for anything ever would be facing endless reparations. How far you taking this? School board? HOA?Shouldn't we hold voters accountable for bad votes...at least try to help them see the error of their ways?
If it was a policy issue you would have a better argument. But as it is all you have is stinky bait.Shouldn't we hold voters accountable for bad votes...at least try to help them see the error of their ways?

Do you blame Trump and his voters (including yourself) for the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol?Do Joe Biden and his supporters have responsibility for the American soldiers killed in the Afghan "evacuation?"
No, certainly not as directly responsible as Biden and his supporters are for the evacuation...unless they were a part of the insurrection.Do you blame Trump and his voters (including yourself) for the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol?

So by that logic Biden supporters are only responsible if they are part of the Taliban. I can agree with that.No, certainly not as directly responsible as Biden and his supporters are for the evacuation...unless they were a part of the insurrection.

Do you hold GWBush responsible for 9/11? Or is it just Democratic Presidents who get blamed for terrorist attacks on their watch?No, certainly not as directly responsible as Biden and his supporters are for the evacuation...unless they were a part of the insurrection.
Sure but the failure of the military to plan the withdrawal better is not a result of Biden’s cognitive ability.Joe's cognitive ability was a point of contention, certainly something that conservative media outlets were discussing, and it was routinely dismissed by Biden supporters.

The buck stops with him because he is the President, but let’s not pretend he is micromanaging the withdrawal of Americans from Afghanistan.

Well done sir.
