Yeah, it sucks. It started out so good, everyone was filled with hope. Like yeah the country was in a dark period but we were gonna start to work our way out of it.

I didn’t think Obama was going to deliver a communist utopia, but I did think he was going to show people that the path to the right ways (clean energy, affordable and accessible healthcare) were possible and not that painful to start down the path of.

And it all got watered down, including the man himself, into neoliberal trash, as you enumerated above. It was certainly the biggest let-down presidency of our lifetimes, which is why it feels awful compared to the others (well, except Trump). It was supposed to finally be one for us.

Now, we just know that we best start believing in Squid Games; we’re in one! 🏴‍☠️ 🦑
