    Would you say we are in an improved state today vs Obama’s time? America is in a degrading state right now and Obama was hugely influential in this system. Trump basically created his political brand in a similar fashion to Obama’s.

    If you seriously think Obama was good explain how things are better now. You do realize about 13% of Obama voters supported Trump? Arguably Trump won because of former Obama supporters.

      True, I agree that President Obama hasn’t done anything for the country lately. The guy is really slacking off. Thanks, Obama

        He said on Pod Save America the other week that we have collective blame for what’s going on in Gaza. Do you have blame for that? I think of you more highly than he does apparently.

        And what did he do, approved drones to kill kids at weddings and other civilian bombings and atrocities in Afghanistan, knowing full well how terrible it was going but not wanting to take the L? Come on you don’t need to stoop to the level of pretending this was a good person. He was a great brand and orator with mass public appeal that sold neoliberal capitalism as something new and different, the same economic arrangement that caused the situation you’re currently in was something he proudly promoted, and it led to fascism, just like what we were all saying at the time from the black left.
