    I think you meant to type “Change”.

    I think a big part of what led to the rise of fascism in the US was the betrayal on the part of the Democrat establishment. In 2015 there was a clear popular uprising against “the establishment” highlighted by the rise of Trump and Bernie. When the DNC fucked over Bernie, Trump capitalized.

      The first Obama term i felt like ok fine change is hard and people are making it hard, give it more time.

      By the middle of Obamas second term I was mad. Nothing really changed and it didn’t feel like he and the dems were fighting to make the changes. In hindsight im not sure exactly what changes I expected or what specifics they campaigned on. I think they sold a feeling more than specific actions. Hard to remember.

        The only thing Obama fought for was in 2009 in the affordable care act, which was itself a failure and giveaway to insurance companies at are complete parasites to healthcare and take the majority of the money for it.

        He did nothing of note otherwise, not in a good way.
