I’m not interested in debating against willful ignorance. You’re literally making a false equivalence logical fallacy. Obama didn’t dismantle our institutions. Obama didn’t separate kids from their parents and intentionally not leave a paper trail so as to effectively make the kids orphans. Obama didn’t execute citizens under the guise of immigration enforcement. Obama didn’t commit blatant fraud and quid pro quo. Obama didn’t attack lgbtq+ rights. Be angry if you want, but don’t be ignorant. Obama isn’t the best of the DNC party; we need better, but willful ignorance won’t get is there.

Obama is a war criminal, period. I don’t give a fuck he didn’t attack lgbtq. You voted for a war criminal, period.

Obama hasn’t been on a ballot since 2012. What the fuck are you going on about? He didn’t commit any war crimes in 2008 when I voted for him, and he was the incumbent in 2012 with pretty much no serious competition. I wasn’t going to vote for Mott Romney – are you implying you think Mitt Romney was the better choice? Wake the fuck up you tool. Look around. I’m not defending Obama or Biden, but you’re an idiot in absolute terms if you think DNC is the same as the GOP.

Obama most definitely committed war crimes. And the point of my argument goes besides who’s in power now. We were talking about workers voting for politicians that would endanger their own self interests. Neither the republican and democratic parties do the interests of the working class. It might bean simplified way to put it but it is a fact nonetheless.
Both parties only have at hearth the interests of the same capitalist classes. Both parties are there to protect the profits of Bigpharma, big tech, Unilever etc. That is what they do. Every other policy is only there to get you to vote them, and to keep people divided. Sure, vote for the liberal candidate if you feel that represents you because of the lgbtq rights, but be sure that another person will be voting the conservative candidate because they also feel represented by one of these “contour” policies these politicians adopt to manipulate us, and in the long run nothing changes. While republicans and democrsts pass each other the ball like 2 buddies playing catch, living conditions get worse for everyone (except the capitalists).
This is a simple fact, explained simply.
