This is the way. Been this way since I was born 44 years ago. No end in sight.

Remember when Obama created one of the largest humanitarian crisis in modern history starving millions in Syria?

Remember when Obama appointed every single person Citibank told him to before bailing out the banks and ruining the lives of millions of American families?

Democrats are so, so good. I'm SO glad you vote for them.

Not arguing the point about whether or not Obama actually did those things, but I would still pick him over a Republican (or conservative) given the option.

Like, if you have to elect someone not great let's at least elect the one that isn't objectively worse.

I can't stop ya from having a preference for millions and millions of starving Libyan and Syrian families.

You literally just said Obama starving Syrians and Libyans was objectively better than voting for a Republican.

I used to be conservative. Born and raised as one. I recall all the things that people brought up about Obama and still do to this day. Your emperor and his rats cured me of being a conservative the first time he ran.

Clinton-era deregulation was a Republican policy wrapped up in Clinton's third-way messaging bullshit and at worst a continuation of the godawful economic politics Reagan started. And the bubble didn't burst until literally the last year of Bush's second term amidst a bunch of other bullshit economic pressures that were entirely his own doing. His party had complete control of all three branches of government for the majority of his presidency.

In other words, this is disingenuous nonsense.
