Obama refusing to name a matching DNC chair is why we lost all momentum, and neoliberals were able to force Hillary, Joe, and Kamala down our throats for over a decade.

And people legit worship him for "getting" us a more conservative version of Mitt Romeny's healthcare plan while he normalized the US military killing US citizens...

Now Carter...

Carter gets rembered as the "last great" Dem.

But the truth is he was further right than the Dem voting base, and even had an anti-abortion speaker at his first nomination acceptance. He didn't push too hard to overturn Roe v Wade.

He wasn't "the last great Dem" he was the begining of neoliberlism.

It's just 50 fucking years later, nobody understands how much we've lost, because they don't know what we had.

Who in the absolute fuck worships Obama? I've known many people who like him and most of those also criticize him on some level. Can't say I've heard of anyone "worshipping" him even if we go with a loose definition there. Strawman.

Liberals are capitalists though. Just in a "I can fix her" kind of way

The whole world is capitalist. Changing it at this point seems unrealistic. Limiting it and controlling it seems more viable.

This is a bit defeatist, wouldn't you agree? A lot of people use the same argument to fight against climate protection actions

Liberals don't believe in capitalism... No one does. It's descriptive, not prescriptive

Liberals believe in rules. That you can tweak the rules and eventually you'll end up with a perfect system of government

Obviously that doesn't work, but a true liberal is a midwit with good intentions. I'd take that all day right now

Our jobs as citizens is to be critical of the government.

If you're not being critical, then they are getting away with something.

And then I mention that I own firearms and start criticizing my state's overbearing gun laws.

Leave Carter out of this shit!
