      Steven Brock Though the false equivalency of “both sides do it” grants far too much leniency to the most corrupt (i.e. repugnants.) I do agree with you. Obama was a horrible prez and is a war criminal. Escalating war & torture. Militarized police. Used water hoses & dogs against innocent protectors. Squashed “Occupy.” Record Prosecution & lock up of whistleblowers. Built the cages to imprison border crossers & children. Deporter in chief. More torture. He created the vacuum that delivered us unto the evil that is Twittler. I’m sickened whenever I agree w/MeAgain. Were it not for this swooning adulation of Obama, the dems would not be stuck with Biden.

That's what a President is supposed to do which is why Donald Trump is a miserable failure in so so so many ways. Obama is quantifiably better in EVERY way. Even where Obama fails he's far better than how Trump fails in the same way.

BUT instead he expanded the wars and left the oval office with America engaged in 7 wars. he expanded the drone project (an illegal assassination program), more people were deported under Obama than any other president, more whistle-blowers were jailed (and some tortured) under Obama than any other president, the middle-class shrank to an all time low, he got in bed with Wall Street and bailed them out ... and I can go on and on and on.

  • @ariel-y-e-m
    @ariel-y-e-m 4 года назад +61

    Saagar's explanation in the midpoint of this video is exactly my feelings about the inevitability of a Trump-like figure. My worries about this started right after Obama beat Romney and the mainstream media for a few months (and probably longer) were talking about 'The Death of the Republican Party'. How do you expect a major political party and all of their constituents to react when you smugly declare that your side has all the right answers and that their party has no chance for years to come?
    The Republican party leadership reacted by basically giving in and making their policies even more aligned with moderate Democrat orthodoxy, further blurring the difference between the two major parties. Then Trump comes in and boldly and unapologetically inserts himself in the conversation as the sole brave fighter for conservative values. He even beats up on that same Republican leadership for basically giving into the Democrats. How is that not going to appeal to a party and base that the mainstream pundits declared dead?
    Trump is and always has been an opportunist. If there's a kernel of weakness in a situation he will relentlessly apply pressure to that weak point until the situation turns in his favor. This is why the mainstream media and the Democratic party can't get a handle on him. They spent years ignoring the exact blindspots that Trump exploits and every time they freak out about him those blindspots are put on display even more.

      At first I was leary of Trump, why I didn't vote for him. I didn't vote for Hillary either as I've voted independent in the last two elections.(I voted for Obama the first time and had buyers remorse.) As I reflected and saw how and why Trump came to power. The media torn apart Mitt Romney, the most bland milquetoast person the republicans would offer up. I thought to myself, I'd probably fallen into the same trap Mitt did...he apollogized after the media started railing him. Republicans trying play nice would be continued to be eaten alive by the media for years if they stay on the script of bending to the whims of it.
      Trump evolved to be like the perfect predator of the media. Like in nature if something becomes too abundant and powerful, something comes in to bring it into balance. If there was a creature covered in spikes with poison tip to keep anything from attacking...Trump is the alpha predator of the political landscape immune to poison to to kill them. That is why he exists. He is immune to everything they do. In fact it generally only makes him stronger. I don't think there's another republican alive who could gotten elected in 2016. I don't love everything Trump says, but I understand the methods to the madness at this point. That is why he wins and the media for all their hate only give him strength.

    4. Continued USA tradition of regime change (e.g. Syria) and lied about it (moderate rebels?)
    5. Covertly supported ISIS in syria (along with Saudi and Qatar)
    6. Went along with Hillary's war on Libya (with UK and France)
    7. Championed bad and unpopular trade agreements (e.g. TPP and TTIP) which vanished jobs in USA
    8. Bailed out the bankers (not the people) during 2008 financial crisis.
    9. Failed to punish any bankers after 2008 financial crisis
    10. Promised “a new era of open government” then prosecuted a record 8 whistleblowers for espionage.
    11. Expanded state surveillance by 64% according to the ACLU
    12. Opened the Arctic to oil exploration & drilling (whenever Big Oil wanted)
    13. Failed to close GITMO despite promising to do so.

Another simple example is Hillary and her hot sauce in purse commercial. Politicians pander, I understand that. But when that pandering becomes the core motivator/goal it naturally deteriorates on the established principals of society. Obama brought/Ran on "change", however that has both Positive and Negative, and in left circles (and to a lesser degree Right circles) they ignore critical self reflection of upholding core values.

    it's amazing how social conservatives frame themselves as victims "losing ground" and facing "cultural extinction" when it comes to groups of people simply fighting desperately for their right to enjoy the same freedom from persecution that social conservatives have enjoyed for centuries in this country. None of the laws that "social conservatives" rail against infringe in their personal life choices at all. No one is trying to keep them from going to church on Sundays, or telling them they can't get married, or forcing them to have an abortion. It's always social conservatives trying to control and limit the freedoms of others, such as forcing women to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term, or blocking same sex couples from enjoying the privileges of marriage. Social conservatives tend to forget that America is a country that is founded on the principles of free will, and yet they are are always reaching out beyond their own groups to try and control the actions of other groups with different beleifs. Yet they consider themselves the "victims." How narcissistic. That's textbook projection at its finest. The oppressor claims to be the victim of the ones they oppress.

      @AEdeathparty 4 года назад +2

      @muttley hehehe ... This is such a common problem with liberals, especially young ones. You argue from a stance that you're morally superior and the enemy is inherently bad. You're not standing up to intolerance, you're denying the ability of half the country to put forward opinions or policy stances on the grounds that those stances and opinions are (as determined by yourself) wrong and therefore not worthy of merit or consideration.
      You have a lot of opinions and ideas and they may seem like the right ones to you and are reinforced by the groups you spend time with, which is the case with everybody, but there's this deep mentality of elitism on the left over others that stops people from even thinking about listening to some 'straight white hick' from a rural town.
      Being pro life isn't being intolerant. We don't have any solid evidence of when cognition and the presence of consciousness form in a human. With that, logically it follows the best way to mitigate suffering as a whole is to err on the side of caution and avoid abortion if at all possible unless the suffering it would cause the mother would outweigh the loss of a life. To pro-lifers, the potential that you MIGHT be murdering a human is enough to treat it as such in the general case. You can ask most conservatives and they'd tell you they believe in stipulations for specific cases such as if the child is a product of rape or incest. There are already laws in place allowing abortion to be done, even in states where it is limited, if the doctor believes there will be any health risk to the mother.
      I do think abortion should be accessible and possibly even covered, but the primary starting point should be to do whatever possible to avoid it.
      The point you should take in general is that while it may seem black and white from one perspective, issues very often have more to the story. Pro-life ideology doesn't come from a desire to control women. That's a ridiculous idea that's been pushed for decades by left wing media and it holds no water if you literally take all of 30 seconds to think about it. Nearly half the women in the country are against abortion in some way. The split is almost entirely down party lines.

      She won the popular vote because of california. Take California out of the picture and she lost by about a million votes

      I don't know if it actually works %100 of the time, but the point of the electoral college is so that the result is not always decided by states with larger populations. All states get an equal voice. You elect your representatives who, in turn, elect the president.

    I'm a 40ish black woman and here's my two- cents: Obama made white liberals feel less racist. It's bizarre how they fawn over him, when black people my age can't stand the dude. Hindsight being 20/20, many of us now realize how Obama enjoyed 98% black support and used that political capital to advance a largely white-elitist agenda, from which very, very few AA's benefitted. In short, Obama sucks and at this point nobody cares what he has to say. His endorsements mean nothing, he's 0-3 (Hillary, Abrams and Guillum).

      @motown 313 No. Many AA's lost their homes, especially in MI.
