Obama and the Democrats acting the way they did seems to have been a pivotal moment for politics and culture. The working class dropping out of politics and believing that any politician who promises to improve their material conditions is lying definitely hurt Bernie, for example.

The Obama administration poisoned the well for what looks like the remainder of said well's lifespan. The 2016 and 2020 primaries then proved that it was no accident, no mistake, but exactly what the party wanted - just in case there was anyone still hanging onto shreds of hope.

Obama really is a world historic figure, but in the opposite way to what he seems to have intended. Even organizing that push to stop Bernie and get Biden across the line, now Obama’s legacy has to weather whatever happens in the next two years.

Obama's legacy is going to be the same as millard fillmore's. Nobody's going to blame him to the extent that they should, like they do buchanan. Nobody's going to think about him at all.

Obama never stopped being a communist and correctly deduced that accelerating its demise was the only way to save this country. Don't you fools see? He's heightening the contradictions!

I legit don't understand why the libs love term limits. You can't possibly believe both that FDR was your favorite president and also term limits are good, term limits were literally invented to make sure another FDR couldn't happen. If you honestly believe that our electoral system is democratic, then disallowing the voters to choose who they want is inherently undemocratic. If the system results in popular results, then there is no need to worry about someone being too popular.
