    But like Obama was still better by leagues among his peers. Sure Obama killed a few people, you think Bush didn’t? What about Biden? Carter? At least he didn’t sick his ICE troopers on American citizens, we got accessible healthcare, a black president, repealing some war on drug laws. Obama is a saint compared to his peers. Sorry he killed a few people while ensuring a generation could have healthcare. Powerful people do bad things 🥱. Acting like the Pope hasn’t killed people lol

      acting like

      Where am i acting like that?

      powerful people do bad things

      Yes, so I’m an anarchist, and I dont suck their dicks about it

      so he killed a few people while ensuring

      That the banks got bailed out and people lost their homes. That none of the problems were fundamentally fixed. That occupy was stepped on har. He promised hope, and then murdered it. Along with a bunch of people.

      I’m not interested in what an ignorant boot licker with no memory has to say about politics or history.bi doubt you can comprehend either topic.

        Cool so acknowledging that a president moved the needle means that I cannot also support a revolution. Thanks for saying X means Y and Z, it really widens people’s perspectives. I upvoted your comment in another thread, we’re all friends here but truly thanks for calling me an ignorant bootlicker

      I’d respond to your points, but the way you speak makes me confident that our values are too different (read: your values are too disgusting). I’m sure you wouldn’t be saying that if you had family among those “few people” Obama killed.

          I’m not a fan of screaming at walls so I won’t write a wall of text (pun not intended), but Obama’s healthcare policy was literally written by the Heritage Foundation. Yes, the Project 2025 Heritage Foundation. Obamacare is literally Romneycare. Dwell on that for a bit.

            This is the discourse I like to see. I had no clue Obama was endorsed by the Heritage Foundation. Instead of assuming people are stupid and can’t comprehend something start with compassion and patience. Sure I started sounding like an Obama ‘apologist’ but I also didn’t vote for him, I was 8 and 12, respectively, when he was elected into office. Before I was 18 I was staunchly alt right by way of social media and YouTube ragebait. I disappointedly voted liberal in the last few elections because… yeah 2 party systems suck.
