    The big mistake of 2008 was thinking electing Obama was sufficient. He’d go get it all done from there.

    Doesn’t work that way. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

      The big mistake was believing him at all.

      He got plenty of it done, but his policies were oppressive and he fucking lied to us about it.

          Must not have had to pay a mortgage, or interact with cops, or be a brown person in the wrong country, or a kid in a cage, or stuck in a torture chamber in Gitmo, or use health care, etc. etc. etc.

          It all happened. You just ignored it, same as with Genocide Joe.
