i feel like centrists and liberals dont realize that the thing that radicalized most people wasnt trump, but obama, and realizing that no matter how promising the politician, american capitalism will fuck you no matter what

Same with me, to the extent that I wasn’t already radicalized. Obama could’ve done so much good and chose not to. He had the opportunity, the political capital and the ability (no matter what idiot centrists say), and he chose getting rich over doing the right thing.

Obama “didn’t have any scandals.” Except what should have been scandals weren’t: he presided over and encouraged the largest loss of black wealth in modern history, allowed 10+ million Americans to be brutally evicted from their homes, prosecuted whistleblowers harshly, and drone-bombed civilians on a then-unprecedented scale.

All of those should’ve been scandals but weren’t. Obama was a terrible president and the country was made vastly worse off because of him.
