If Americans can't come to grips with the fact that Obama, the Clintons, Biden/Harris & neoliberalism as a whole constitute an insufficient antidote to right wing sociopathy, the U.S. is doomed.

And yet you still voted for who now? I bet you voted for Trump. Go on now. Git. Shoo.

You can't be serious. No, I definitely didn't support Trump. I usually swallow the bile & support the lesser evil for lack of a better option.

I'm TIRED of not having a better option, though & I reserve the right to not worship mediocre shitlibs. You can fuck off now. Enjoy being muted.

Isaak, none of the people who criticize Obama for things like the drone program or not being progressive are trump voters. It's like you don't even see the content of the problem, but just that we aren't kowtowing to his image.

trump voters love hellfire missiles killing random brown ppl.

Bailed out and sold the country to Wall Street. Protected corporate and monied interest, throwing the American People under the bus during the 2008 Housing Crisis. You either like Obama because he protected your wallet, or because he's black. Not because he helped poor people.

Exactly. I'm not even denying he's an affable figure, but I judge politicians based on effective policy, not how cool they seem like they'd be to hang out with, or how much better they are than literal despots.
