The reactions of Biden pulling out is just a reflection of how divided
this country is. I say this as a Bernie Sander's supporter that this was the best move of Biden's presidency so far. He did the right thing and I think deep down everybody on both sides knows it was the right move.
I'm pretty sure the majority of Republicans support getting out of Afghanistan but they disagree with leaving now simply because it wasn't a republican president that was in charge of the exit. If this was Trump they would be screaming about how he did a great job of leading the country out of Afghanistan.
What a really comes down to is that even if you make the universally popular move it is still unpopular in this country politically due to not being on the same team as the other party.
