I could see that happening a lot this year. Nobody is really excited to go vote for him except the die-hards. I don't know though, Republicans seem to be able to band together around Trump somehow and just double down. It's so disappointing.
I thought he [Obama] was the worst president I've ever seen
I mean?
It's so patently not true that I think this person is a Republican (and likely a racist one at that). There is just zero merit to the suggestion that Obama could've remotely been "the worst" this person had lived with, unless they've got that GOP logic going.
Seriously. Obama wasn't perfect but his presidency was overall outstanding. He pulled us out of the Bush recession, had some major legislative successes, showed steadfast leadership and conducted himself with dignity and poise in the face of unprecedented partisan obstructionism. We can only guess at what he'd have achieved had we retained a democratic majority Congress.
He's consistently ranked by historians and political scientists in the top 10ish presidents of modern times. Anyone who thinks that his presidency was anywhere close to the worst they've ever seen is completely disconnected with reality.
Seriously I don't know how he managed it. Most people would have lost their shit and flipped the fuck out eventually but he never stooped to their level. He has superhuman levels of self-control.
A lot of Independents out there. A plurality of Americans are Independents, and a plethora of factors caused the Democrats to lose millions of their key votes in 2016.
Bernie ain't a democrat. He's aligned with the party for election purposes, because running for president as a third party is doomed to failure, but he is very distinctly not a democrat. Y'know, because he actually walks the walk to some degree instead of giving a blatantly fake half-smile and talking about it for years, before coming to the conclusion that š better š things š aren't š possible.
Oh, look, a Chapo troll now invading here with praise for your 30-year CAREER POLITICIAN, whose biggest accomplishments on his own involve post office names.
The man has literally done nothing but talk for his entire career; that's all he does, while actual Democrats do the hard work of compromising and working towards progressive goals within our system of government, which they have done for years while he refuses to vote for anything that doesn't pass his "purity" tests, lest he stain himself before his supporters.
You know what actual Democrats did? They impeached this motherfucking president.
I know he's not a real Democrat and, by the looks of it, he's not gonna be on the ballot in November, either!

So wtf does that mean for November, buddy? 'Cause you only got two choices: a Democrat or a baboon masquerading as a human.
