    You’ve barely even scratched the surface.

    He also destroyed the social safety net, he cut the regulations that caused the 2008 crash and let billionaires buy up the press…

    He really just cut all the straps holding our county together. I’m still learning new ways on how he opened us up to the problems we’re now facing

      Oh I know! When I said he balanced the budget on the backs of the working poor, cutting social safety net is exactly what I meant and then some. And let’s not pretend Obama was better. He was better on idpol but once again, he was socially ledt and economically right. Corporations and ultrawealthy got tax cuts at the expense of the poor.

      We can do better, and politicians can do better; but they won’t until we make them do it.

        Agreed. It was uniparty bullshit. The neolibs and neocons are basically the same, plus or minus a couple superficial issues

        We can’t go back to that bullshit. We have the political momentum, we have to vote in progressives

            Lmao wtf, I use swipe typing. I don’t know how the fuck progressive turned into conservative

            No, I meant progressive. I can define that if you like, but I see where the confusion is lol
