Alright you gonna have to put your big boy pants on and try to keep up with me for this one:
The world is often a dangerous place filled with violent deranged poor people. Sometimes in our power games competing with other empires we deal with less than desirable groups -- like angry Islamic militants.
For example, we used a group of angry Islamic militants known as the Taliban to fight Soviet Russia. We then were attacked by a peripheral group in Afghanistan that the Taliban didn't want to give up (Al-Qaeda / Osama Bin Laden). So we allied with warlords out there that molested underage boys (its just "boy fun" don't talk about it), and corrupt metropolitan assholes like Karzai against the Taliban.
It turns out that Karzai is a useless asshole. When we needed help killing ISIS off, we used the Taliban because guys like Karzai are about as useful as a hole in our wallet. We don't think either of these guys are good. But ISIS is a real threat so we work with the bad men...you see? America sometimes needs to accept the world as it is and we need to work with people in charge we don't like.
So Biden (or Trump if he won) has to work with the Taliban moving foreword -- not because he personally likes him, but because we need them to work with us against terrorists moving foreword. Karzai wasn't an option and nothing Biden (or Trump) did would make it so.
