Who said that?
He was the most progressive president of my lifetime...
And as Americans we should all be ashamed the bar is that low.
We need to do better moving forward, if the goal is always "be what it was like 20 years ago" then how the fuck isn't it a conservative party?
If that's what you want, go moderate the Republican party.
Your ideas ruined one of two political parties, then moved to the only other option and insisted you know better than the people who actually pay attention
You said "not 2012 Obama after we found out he wasn't much better"? Better than what?
My ideas? What ideas lmao? My ideas that obama was more progressive than GWB in every aspect? He was more progressive than Bill Clinton. Who was the ideal dem candidate in 2012?
Are you the Democrat police now? I asked you to explain your statement and you tell me i should go to the republican party and accused me, single handedly destroying a political party? Because I'm such an influencial person in the Democratic party they've been taking my opinions for the last 15 years. Clearly. You seem well....adjusted?
I literally didn't....
People voted for change in 2008.
In 2012 they voted to not have a Republican.
I think the issue is I said one thing, you've clearly misinterpreted it...
And now you want me to defend a position you made up for me.
Why would anyone spend their free time doing that, even without you insulting them?
Why would anyone every help you understand things?
I just quoted it underneath the original comment so you can just check that out and I'll take an apology whenever.
It's litterally the last sentence in the comment I replied to so yes, I ask you again. Are you okay or did a reach a different person than the one who wrote the comment with this screen name?
