I hate Donald Trump as much as the next guy but you identity politics dupes need to wake up and stop throwing your support behind fake leftists like Obama. The absence of a true left is what gave us Donald Trump in the first place.

What gave us Donald Trump was a lot of rich oligarchs who wanted their never-ending tax breaks and a cult of poorly educated dumb-asses.

And those oligarchs bought up every key political seat in the GOP and DNC….

What I am getting at is: we’re sitting here infighting between two sham parties.
First past the post literally disqualifies the US from being considered a democracy. It keeps us infighting about Hulk Hogan vs. the Undertaker while the corporations (which are considered people except they are increasingly unprosecutable/above the law) shape our government into a fascist state whether you’re talking about under GOP or DNC rule.

they got that with Republicans. what gave us Donald Trump is a 2 party system and it’s lack of alignment with the electorate.

Trump is an arse, sure, but Obama isn’t made of roses and honey. this is not about his race; this is about him as an individual.

talk to kids in Pakistan who have contracted polio because their parents distrust vaccination volunteers, and that because of the operation which disguised Osama’s executioners as traveling vaccinators.

as mr. 44 oversaw that mission, poliovirus still exists in the world today because of that man. i hope the nobel peace prize that he bought is worth the suffering those children go through every day.

It is funny how wholesome the obama family is compared to most presidents outside of carter, although I don’t really have a good idea of previous presidents personal lives once you get older than kennedy/nixon

I mean, Trump can’t help it, but think about the audacity of Obama just being born slightly darker than acceptable!

Yes, but did Obama hold a bible upside down?
