He's right though. Americans are the least qualified to run the world, and yet we bear the most influence upon it. If you don't resent that, then you're a rube.

So who is the most qualified to run the world?

It's the only way to make money these days, so yeah. In the future eligibility for public office will be limited to bankers, lawyers, and maaaaybe tech bros.

not endorse the guy who is responsible for the PS (french version of the dems) being dead today? seems like a good idea to me

Obama remains popular overseas. I'm trying to figure out whether you're saying he should have remained silent altogether, or should have spoken in favor of the guy who literally hates America?

i think obama should stop trying to influence elections towards centrists. the dems are already having a lot of trouble thanks to the last clown obama helped get elected

So he should have stayed silent, and you're asserting that his phone call somehow made the situation worse, on the basis of nothing. Gotcha. The keen political insights of a Jill Stein voter.

i think people should be able to vote for whoever they want, and that its the party's responsibility to attract voters. you probably find that tedious cause you're the kind of idiot who would vote dem if they didn't even put up a candidate

I still have no idea what you think Obama was supposed to do, or how he bears any responsibility for any eventual result, btw. I'd still like that explained.

No, you just said "I don't like Obama doing things I don't like," you didn't explain how he made anything worse, or how he "[helped] side another fascist into power." I find this idea genuinely confusing! Would you please explain your reasoning?

he advocated for macron and wanted macron to win. macron's a hillary clone and will lose to a fascist.
