Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

You’re not sure that the people chose Obama over Clinton in 2008? I’m sorry you’re not sure about that, when did you arrive here (Earth, I mean)?
Not what I’m saying. I think people voted for Obama’s platform and marketing. At the time he was a relatively unknown political figure, which amplified the possibility of change. Which, again, was not delivered upon.
Oh, I see. And Clinton did all those things too? Or are there actually even more differences between them than just their “obvious skin color”? Please tell me because I do not know what you obviously mean.
I was joking earlier about Dems’ utter and tired dependence on identity politics, but you seem to have chosen to take things the wrong way at every turn. As I said, policy wise, I don’t believe those two differed much at all. In other words, they both would do exactly what the donors tell them. Biden also did this, and the American people hate it so much that they voted Trump2 instead.
Many establishment dems absolutely refuse to learn this lesson, just like you appear to be. I suggest you and others in the party reflect on those devastating Dem losses some more beyond the easy identity-politic excuse of “misogyny”, or we’re going to be in for a very rough next election cycle.
Now It’m sure we’re in different timelines. You brought up their skin color. That being a pretty chickenshit distinction between them, I challenged you. Now you’re shouting identity politics. It’s like pulling the string on a broken Krusty doll.
