And because I really, really don't like the idea of political dynasties. Bush Clinton Clinton Bush Bush [obama obama] Clinton Clinton? gently caress off.

Still zero idea. Polls suggest Hillary but I have zero certainty in anything this election cycle.

The real question here is, who isn't going to be president?

Aww, look who hates healthcare and being employed. I'm sure it's hard for you to get up everyday, knowing you live in such a third world hellscape.

Series DD Funding posted:i wish i had the kind of privilege to be able to think "wow, nothing has gotten better for me since 2008" That can happen because of underprivilege, like if you were too poor to afford insurance in 2008 and Obamacare just made it so you were fined for that fact.

Series DD Funding posted:i wish i had the kind of privilege to be able to think "wow, nothing has gotten better for me since 2008" considering the fact that since 2008 the rich have had things get far far better for them than anyone else, this is a great way to accuse the underprivileged of being privileged through a liberal erasure of class and wealth inequality

like if someone isn't doing well in the status quo and thought obama would change more like he promised and currently hates the establishment (amazingly, this describes a lot of people at the moment! especially young people who have suffered the most under the neoliberal status quo!) i'm not sure your first go-to response should be a smug accusal of privilege whatever that means considering how much obama promised, there really wasn't much change from the GWB era. the ACA was a payout for insurance corps and he managed to destroy another 2 muslim nations in his own way. also, if anything has improved for you in the last 8 years, however slight it may be, you are forbidden from criticizing the fact that it has improved far more for those who already have tons of wealth and privilege, or that huge problems still exist? ncie stramwan

This is literally what happened with the Taliban in Afghanistan too, it's not hard to learn. Libya was Clinton pushing behind Obama, though, wasn't it?

We've been doing it for half a century and it constantly blows up in our faces, particularly in the Middle East.
