Edit, since folks don’t seem to get the joke: Obama’s campaign slogan was “Hope”

Hope is worth nothing in hindsight. Obama was a shit ass president - still way better than trump. He allowed privacy to be demolished and bombed the shit out of everyone.

There were less deaths under Obama than any president since Carter.

Yeah but he did allow Cuban cigars to be privately imported. Trump took that from me.

He didn’t “bomb the shit out of everyone” any more than his predecessor or successor, on average. The only difference is that he made the bombing statistics transparent, whereas the others hid those numbers.

Obama had the lowest number of civilian deaths since President Carter and was far lower than Trump that followed him. Republicans had to invent a new metric to find something bad to say about Obama. Since he wasn’t killing thousands of people like Bush, they invented the metric of drone strikes to make him seem worse than Bush.

Funny you say that because it’s his administration that redefined what combatant is to include any young man or boy as an enemy combatant. That way he could claim he wasn’t killing civilians he was killing enemy comments.

Yeah, like now everyone who wanted this has to donate their max.

Even if it’s just to send a message to the donor class that biffing Biden was the right move. $2 or $27.

If you wanted Biden off the ticket, got what you wished for, pony up.

I’ll send mine in just for the unity message.

E: if you need the link to donate just check your text spam folders.

I’m sure they did, considering the uprising during the Arab Spring against Assad’s murderous regime. But I never took you as an advocate for US interventionism!

i’m surely not such an advocate. i’m sure whatever you said justifies all that senseless death.

I’m not sure a democratic uprising Obama didn’t support and a civil war that has lasted 12 years and counting are great examples of Obama inspiring hope.
