In 08 I was a little too young to be politically active but I always understood that Obama convinced a ton of people that things were gonna change, and was able to put a friendly face on the American Empire.
Nowadays theres definitely a lot of people just happy that the orange man is off the television, but sleepy joe has negative charisma and hes already doing really bad with the stimulus bill and is openly refusing to reverse trump policies like closing the camps.
Am I accurate in this or am i just trapped in my commie safe space?
this time in 2009 the mood was still pretty excited about Obama and the possibility of a public option
from where I'm sitting nobody thinks anything good is gonna happen now
By March we were past the point he appointed his ghouls to the treasury and fed. The libs were still happy but the mask had definitely dropped
Plus, surely we'd be getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan soon!
