Lol at the retard hollering about our glorious first lady trying to make kids eat healthy. The stupid oval office made school lunch turn into a jailhouse tier snack. Now all the godforsaken impoverished children with crackhead parents lost their only decent meal of the day. Way to go neoliberals! You can't get fat if your starving like a homeless person!

Obama care is a fuckin travesty. Period. This conversation is over close thread.

As people get more extreme on both sides of this poo poo, they fail to be able to see when someone is just "meh." You ask one majority and Obama was the devil, ask another and he was a trailblazing saint. The truth is he was just a kind of conservative president who's job was "Meh, OK, B- rating" the entire time.

But you can't rant about how horrible someone who is meh is, nor can you lament their loss. So more screaming of TRAITOR!!!! or SAVIOR!!!! ensues.

Maybe you weren't keeping up on events but the Republican party was broken, the Democratic party was broken, and frankly there's not a lot you could do with the current busted rear end party system.

The whole thing needs a complete reboot that the people in charge will never let happen and nobody will ever force them to reboot because people think the way to affect change is to live on a street corner for weeks waving a sign while rich people laugh at them.

PS: I still think the world would have been immensely better off if an asteroid hit the last presidental debate. Nothing of value would have been lost.

Yep. Why I said the parties were busted so there wasn't a lot TO do but fix leaks in a doomed ship.

The Republicans are lock-step terrible and the Democrats are a bunch of corrupt idiots that can't unite on anything. And yeah corrupt since Clinton's manipulation of them to make herself the candidate showed, which ultimately saw them crushingly defeated.

gently caress them all. If I could snap my fingers and have every single member of government swinging from a light pole, I'd do it. It's time to start over.

Yeah I do. Like I said, the Democrats, even with the numbers, could not organize on a single issue. Where as a minority Republican party runs a LOCKSTEP OR WE KICK YOU OUT mentality that keeps them winning votes.

The parties are poo poo. Every single thing about them is poo poo. They're massively corrupt, the older the guard, worse they are. They will gently caress everything up forever, no matter who wins.

They need a reboot. A full reboot. We need 3 new parties and to erase both the loving old ones. But it won't happen again because people are too stupid to actually do something about it when they think their stupid little park protests "is doing something."

Remember when we were waist deep in bush oil schemes that caused our whole economy to capsize, and instead of going heavy into the next great depression, we leveled and then seen the highest job growth and highest consecutive job growth months since the 80s and 60s respectively?

You're right it's not going to happen because people are taught from the time they were small children that peaceful protest works and is the only acceptable thing in today's society.

I think we'd be in a different world today if those 2% protests stormed the Bank of America tower and hurled the entire board off the top floor.

But people will just go "Oh, no, that won't bring change! Real change comes from slogans and standing without pay in the rain!"

K but once you get out of retail bullshit that's really not the norm. I'd rather give a good employee working minimum wage a $2/hr bump rather than lose that employee and roll the dice on a new person who I now have to train and poo poo too.

Basically what we actually need is Revolution but like I said before, the US figured out if you want to stop people from EVER revolting, just train them that running around marching in a protest is "changing something."

Quite literally protests haven't accomplished notable poo poo since, at best, the 1960s or 70s. Since then they have literally done jack poo poo. People look down on protestors. The people being protested look down on protestors. Nothing gets loving done running up and down a street screaming things. But they go home self-satisfied, so they don't do what actually needs to be done.

It's kind of insidious.

If by real america you meanhave uneducated poorville then yes it's real bad because you're all big dummies who take the first news story that fits your pre-perceived narrative and run with it without any fact checking, despite having pretty much all the information known to man publicly available 3 clicks and 5 words away on a device that is almost never more than 10 feet away.
