SKTheCrusader | Was I Proven Wrong By Joe Biden and Keir Starmer About The Lesser Evil? @SKTheCrusader | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
It's election season! And with the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire Primaries in the rear view mirror I couldn't help but notice: a lot of very annoying people are really trying hard to defend Joe Biden and demanding people vote for him. We also have an election coming up in the UK. Given all of this I thought, why not take a look at some ideas I had a couple of years ago about one of the primary arguments in favour of voting for both Joe Biden and Keir Starmer: that they're the lesser evil.
In this video I respond to one very long comment that deserved a proper detailed response and I try to do a response video to myself, which is new to me (but I'm sure someone has done it before). I try to answer the biggest question of all, was I wrong and whether I was or wasn't, why was I right or wrong. This is a lot of self-reflection and maybe a little, tiny, victory lap.
