The only difference here is Obama did that to other countries while Trump does it to everybody
Not at all justifying what Obama did, and I think for the progressive party to win, we need truly progressive candidates.
feel like alot of people are falling for right wing propaganda against obama , thats where the hate is coming from. no word on what trump is doing at all? why is that, he isnt black thats why. even if it is criticism, its extremely mild.
I was only a kid when Obama was in office, honestly one of my better memories as a kid was Michelle Obama’s “worldwide day of play” on Nickelodeon and the increased “Green” education.
I don’t know a lot of his international affairs but maybe that’s something I’ll read about. However from first glance’s it does look like he was more destructive overseas than I personally prefer. I don’t think it’s “right wing” propaganda at all to think critically about who we idolize as our progressive candidate, even more so considering current affairs.
Obama killed 12,000 civilians and bombed a doctors without borders hospital. That's not propaganda it's verifiable fact.
This isn't a thread about trump. Are you saying nobody can criticize any president without giving trump a shout-out?
Oh fuck you
