    Obama was not a badass, he was a charismatic young illegal drone striking war criminal who reversed course on several key campaign promises.

    He wasn’t Trump, but he wasn’t a leftist workers hero, you deserve and should demand better than Democrats.

      Everyone wants to remember the hope and change, no one wants to remember the extrajudicial killing of Americans.

        Ultimately, Obama did a perfect job executing neoliberalism. And by demonstrating the outcomes of neoliberalism when perfectly executed, I think he also executed neoliberalism in the other meaning.

      Exactly. When he took the stage to a cheering crowd after his win, I KNEW he would just be one more weak, useless Democratic placeholder, just there to give the PedoCons enough time for bad memories of the last disastrous Republican administration to fade, so they can manipulate their way back into office, and continue their destruction.

        Besides you guys, nobody even knows what that means. When you drag “liberals” on Lemmy and Reddit, most people just think you’re a trump supporter.
