      good point, Obama only racked up 563 drone strikes. as we liberals are well aware, you must blow up at least 564 weddings military age targets to be considered abhorrent.

      thank you for reminding us to remain civil and measured in our assessment of our foremost vampires.

      Health insurance prices continued to rise after Obamacare was passed as though nothing had happened. Tens of millions of Americans are still uninsured or underinsured and hundreds of thousands died from lack of insurance while Obama was president (and busy doing genocide in Libya, Syria, and Yemen). Back to reddit wi’ ye, lib!

      Black Americans saw their largest ever decrease in net wealth under Obama, he not only didn’t end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but if fact expanded the war in Afghanistan, which meant ever increasing payments to pedarist warlords, which hey, still failed.

      This is besides the point that the ACA is just a handout for insurance companies, based on a Heritage Foundation made Romney-Care plan, and not the universal healthcare plan that he had promised voters during the election.

      Must be fun to live in the memory-hole, I’ll bet it’s nice and warm.

        I’m pretty sure that all Americans except for the wealthy saw their largest ever decrease in net wealth under Obama, and every president since. Inflation is out of control, school, housing, and healthcare are hundreds, sometimes thousands of times more expensive, wages have stagnated, and assistance programs for the needy have been cut or cancelled. The QOL and freedom indexes have been steadily decreasing for decades.

      The surge in Afghanistan was abhorrent and disappointing, unless you dont view Afghans as human beings.

      A significant amount of hexbear is queer and trans, it’s pretty wild to call out gay marriage as some great thing when those in power turn a blind eye to trans and queer genocide and abuse

      Also they didn’t codify gay marriage, it can be poofed just like abortion

          We are 10 years after the Supreme Court case to make Gay Marriage legal and no single democrat is talking about codifying that as law…something that they, elected democrats, did not even do and you’re talking about progress! 10 years later and any informed opinion would recognize that the Republican strategy is to use the Supreme Court to undo any progress aka Gay Marriage and the Dems have no interest in codifying it!!

      After reading the replies here what comes to my mind is how can someone unironicaly praise fucking Obamacare or whatever considering Bernie’s both campaigns and their ultimate outcome. Like fucking not even the reddit libs of the day would say this with a straight face, well unless you were a massive turbo Hillary/Obama shill which believe it or not at one time was not even that mainstream on that shit site.

      To read this unironically in the good old year of 2023 is just funny.
