Obama refusing to name a matching DNC chair is why we lost all momentum, and neoliberals were able to force Hillary, Joe, and Kamala down our throats for over a decade.

And people legit worship him for "getting" us a more conservative version of Mitt Romeny's healthcare plan while he normalized the US military killing US citizens...

Now Carter...

Carter gets rembered as the "last great" Dem.

But the truth is he was further right than the Dem voting base, and even had an anti-abortion speaker at his first nomination acceptance. He didn't push too hard to overturn Roe v Wade.

He wasn't "the last great Dem" he was the begining of neoliberlism.

It's just 50 fucking years later, nobody understands how much we've lost, because they don't know what we had.

Who in the absolute fuck worships Obama? I've known many people who like him and most of those also criticize him on some level. Can't say I've heard of anyone "worshipping" him even if we go with a loose definition there. Strawman.

My mother; but, to be fair, she's a Haitian immigrant who got to witness (and vote for) America's first ever black president so…you know.

For your average person, I'd have to agree with you (in my experience).
