Obama Supporters ... what is it going to take for you to wake up?
- Thread starter Broke Wave
- Start date
I came back home to RI to vote this election which was a guaranteed W for him and so I voted for someone else. But if I was in Michigan, I would've voted for the guy again. I already outlined why right before the election and literally everything I said would come to pass has happened. I said, and I quote, "The SCOTUS (and the courts in general) of has done more to harm the American populace than any administration over of the past 20 or 30 years. I'm not willing to put in 8 years of a Republican (most likely) knowing that Ginsburg is in her 80s." I'd like to possibly see a progressive court in my lifetime. I said that reason alone was enough. Just looking at this past week, and how every one of his judicial appointments are being held up, I'm pretty sure you see my point. That's ME. Though, like I was telling @Kool G Trap a couple weeks back, I go back and forth about whether progressives should just take some Ls in election while trying to shift back to the left.
But if you want to know why more "progressives" (not all these guys are) aren't upset, it's because they think more like JUSS HEDD than you or me. They're not all that upset about some of the shyt you're complaining about (and misrepresenting...but you yourself said you're not big on details). They care about the economy, and that's why you see his biggest hit is there in approval. RI is the most reliably blue state in the country. On the issues it sided with Obama on 54% and Jill Stein on 46%.
I know, I was one of the 2000 or so people in RI that voted for Jill Stein. My family gave me the
. But that's for another day.

Most of the so-called criticism towards Obama comes from a very irrational perspective and I think most people think WAY too black or white when criticizing him from the far-left and far-right.
Even though I admit I disliked Bush I would still call people out who criticized him from an irrational perspective.
I like to see myself more as a moderate-progressive.
Somehow we forgot this along the way to the first historical election of a black president

As disillusioned as Iam about Obama at the moment, I still don't regret my 2008 vote in GA nor my 2012 vote in VA. At the end of the day, Obama is a much better choice than McCain and Romney.
That's what so fukked up about our current political system. You are voting for the lesser of two evils.
That choice is
in itself.

Yeah, seems like people were expecting him to be the second coming of Jesus or something and are now bitter because he couldn't live to their unrealistic expectations.
As far as I'm concerned he's a mediocre Democratic president who has had to deal with an unusual level of congressional obstruction. That said, he's pretty far right for a Democrat, so you'd think the "conservatives" here would be feeling him a little more.
I no Have regrets about voting for obama
It's like 
said, if white ppl would shutup and stop being racist mainly in their critique of him, black people are right on the verge of criticizing Obama.
But then we don't, because we see the what the real reason they don't like him is.
