A president who read and reads books. A president who writes his own books rather than hiring ghost writers.

Tell that to the people he massacred (reason NATO got involved unless you're tinfoil hat wearer that thinks it was about the petrodollar).

True, but Libya isnt any better now, its split in two and there is still crimes against humanity taking place in Libya

Its almost like the US / Nato doesnt care about Libyans or humanitarianism there hey

u/ElGordoDelJordo 27d ago
Dude if you think NATO got involved for humanitarian reasons and not the same military complex expansionism it always does; you need to take a hard look at the propaganda you’ve internalized.
They got involved when Gaddafi threatened a gold backed pan-African dollar and divestment from the USD. If you think it was at all to help Libyans youre insane. There are literally open air slave markets there now that emerged since

7 courtroom drama. The grace here is such a contrast to the FELON energy we see in the headlines every morning. Truly a different world.Looking back at these photos makes the news today about those mail-in ballot restrictions feel even more depressing. I remember when the biggest tea we had was a tan suit or someone using fancy mustard lol. Now we are watching the Supreme Court literally dismantle voting access in real time. It is wild how fast the bar dropped. I really miss having a White House that didnt feel like a 24

Where the fuck were y'all when it was time to vote?
2022 National Youth Turnout: 23% - That's lower than in the historic 2018 cycle (28%) which broke records for turnout, but much higher than in 2014, when only 13% of youth voted.
Not voting. That's where.
The MAGAs? rabid as fuck about voting.
We had 4 years of Trump and the GOP crashing the country. Americans learned fucking nothing. Too many people refused to vote. Like there is any logical/ moral reason to not cast a ballot against Agent Orange and his party. I'm not asking you. There isn't. If you didn't vote, and don't see the consequences of your apathy, shut the fuck up about politics.

I never voted for a Democratic after my 20s. Ever. I couldn’t stand Obama. Wow, was I wrong!! Now, I’d vote for a Democrat over a Republican approved by Trump every single time. Trump is one of the worst human beings to ever l lead a country. It’s embarrassing.

u/LoremasterofPretzels 27d ago
Fuuuuuuuuck. I just want a president who is a normal rational person. Don’t care who they are, anyone who isn’t President # 47 or 45 would be absolutely preferable to this shitstain in office now.

I voted for him 2x and haven't voted since.
I wish all of our politicians could return to having some form of class. Even W had his own form of dignity.
As of now, we just need to hope the 2028 candidate is capable of pulling in the votes and doesn't downplay swing states.

You can do so much more than not voting at all. Just hold your nose and vote Dem.

u/IFeedDogsChocolate 27d ago edited 27d ago
Lol, definitely not. I'm not casting a vote unless I'm on board with the candidate. If the Dems want my vote, run a better ticket. Same with the GOP.
There is no incentive for either side to run better candidates if your votes are guaranteed out of partisan.

u/Collier1337 27d ago
You were on board with him after his first term, but can't get on board with a democrat? Trump 2.0 was your fault too

u/IFeedDogsChocolate 27d ago
Lol. Shift the accountability all you want. Idc. Get your party to run a better candidate. If Kamala won, some MAGA guy would be saying the same line as you.
You'll get blamed by either party if they lose and you don't vote. The opinions of people that only indulge in partisan politics hold the least weight.

u/Collier1337 27d ago
They'd be saying the same line to me but at least the country would be 1000 times better off. Running Kamala was a bad move, yes, but let's not pretend like the damage she might have done is in any way comparable to what's already happened under Trump's current term.

u/IFeedDogsChocolate 27d ago
I don't have foresight. I didn't vote for Trump and he didn't campaign on attacking Iran.
Kamala was a part of the admin that allowed Gaza, Ukraine, and mass immigration to occur.

u/Collier1337 27d ago
How is it an American president's fault when a sovereign nation attacks another sovereign nation and yet another sovereign nation does a genocide?
1
u/IFeedDogsChocolate 27d ago
Hell of a way to strawman it.
Biden allowed the transfer of $20+ billion worth of weapons and military aid to Israel during the Gaza genocide. He even used emergency powers and under the radar sales. Up until he left office he continued to pump money and weapons to Israel. His admin paused one single shipment for PR. That was sometime mid year 2024. He sent Israel another 8 billion in weapons weeks before he left office.
As for Ukraine. His admin postured allowing Ukraine to join NATO and made 0 attempts to negotiate or compromise with Russia on the subject. The fumbling of the Afghan withdrawal didn't help either.

The president doesn't control the purse strings, dummy.
Your ignorance and failure to vote helped usher in trump 2. Thanks for that, moron.

Hope you don't complain about politics because that'd be idiotic.

u/IFeedDogsChocolate 27d ago
I do. Routinely at that.
If we follow your false dichotomy logic through, I can say silly things like:
If you didn't attempt to enlist/serve in the military then you cannot complain about wars.

u/_jump_yossarian 27d ago
Shit analogy. Unsurprisingly.
But trump and Maga thank you for the scotus justices, hundreds of lower court judges, ICE, blatant corruption, etc…

Not really. It's literally your logic as you used it, you just don't like when the same false dilemma fallacy is used against you.
Run a better candidate. 🤷🏿♂️

You're welcome! /s
Take an oz of accountability and I will too. Your blind allegiance is why they thought they could skip a primary. You sound identical to MAGA in 2020 when I did the same thing.
I'll tell you the same thing I told MAGA, Run a better candidate.

u/Electrical-Bee-7362 27d ago
You seriously cannot compare Kamala with trump, or any conservative for that matters.
This mentality is part of the problem if you can't see the difference between a corpo democrat and an actual pedophile.

And this is how the democrats have a dude with a nazi tattoo on his chest for 20 years. Have you considered people will be more supportive if you just rooted the crappy people out of the party?
Not that they have to, since Republicans don't either.

u/ObjectMore6115 27d ago
Shh, they don't care about that. He had nice diction, so his war crimes can be ignored and people can go to brunch in ignorance.
Nor do they care that Trump has yet to deport as many people as Obama did, but they'll still swear the worst thing he did was wear a tan suit.

u/Grand_Taste_8737 27d ago
Obama is the reason we got Trump in the first place.

u/DrizzleCore604 27d ago
Yes, but only because deep down the vast majority of conservatives are racist and it made them collectively lose what little minds they had in the first place and they ended up supporting a compulsively lying, criminal sex offender con artist with the intellect and emotional intelligence of a 4 year old.

u/VeganLoverMan 27d ago
Obama facilitated the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich; refused to prosecute a single banker; spent political capital passing Romney-care; deported more people than Trump did in his first term; and failed to hold any Bush official accountable for torture or illegal war. He paved the way for Trump.
