As a foreigner I think all American presidents on my lifetime have been pieces of shit and America is a hopeless hell hole. Fucking 10 corporations in a trench coat pretending to be a government.
Yeah I really wish there was some kind of patent reform so a company can only hold a patent long enough for the work to create the innovation to be worth the pursuit of it.
Instead they will use patents to stifle innovation and stop people from being able to compete with new ideas based on an original innovation. The patent system was supposed to foster innovation, not stifle it.
Ive never seen any politician on any side do anything about the aggressive use of patents. Companies will buy out companies just for the patents. Its obviously a big issue that reworked would make it harder for a corporation to thrive without continuing to innovate and provide what the people really want or need.
Yeah it was decided initially so that the creator could still benefit from it and recoup r&d costs before a third party could copy their design without the r&d and be able to sell the product cheaper.
But now companies just patent any idea without using them just so other companies can’t.
If a company doesn’t use their patent within a certain time frame it should be completely revoked.
What’s the difference between a terrorist bunker and a children’s hospital? IDK I just fly the drone
Being better than Republicans is hardly an accomplishment but I will say that he was better, I could even say he was good for an American but that shouldn’t be confused with good
I am not going to spend the next three hours explaining how Obama and that goat fucking weasel Joe Biden as his vice president made some shady deals with the party in power of my country to start a very devious and corrupt drug war. And I am not going to tell you that I was working as a field teacher at the time of that drug war, That shit got so dangerous I had to quit my job. That said drug war fixed nothing, it only kicked the hornets nest , killed a lot of people, it painted the streets red. It moved money towards a new breed of more violent drug traffickers and blocked legislations that would make drug regulation possible. and that it wasn’t just in my country; Obama was a useless hypocrite neoliberal puppet, pure scum. He had the power to make a lot of positive changes and just followed the lead of the people that were really in power in America: The corporations. I am not even very versed in American policy. I’m sure There are American people out there that paid attention at the time might have an idea of how The Obama years paved the way for the trump Era.
Americans live their lives ruled by people who would rather put their balls in a vice and set that vice on fire than to pass regulations on Corporations. Meanwhile those corporations concentrate more international power and either impose or export their corruption to the rest of the world. Your politicians are bought and paid by these conglomerates, they are your government. Your democracy is a farce, your politicians spent decades dictating to the rest of the world what civility, democracy and free market should be. And the moment those concepts are an obstacle to the concentration of power of American corporations all those wishy washy ideals go out the window. America imposed neoliberalism in Latin America. killed thousands in Chile, in El Salvador, in Brazil for their little project and now they have to gall to say the rest of the world owes them everything. What a joke all this is.
I’m sick of it. I’m sick of having dumbass American politics exported to my country. I’m sick of American culture, I’m sick of being worried of who is going to be the new dumbass on power there and who is going to be demonized by their foreign policy. I’m sick that it’s a black hole that wants to privatize everything. I’m sick of Sam Altman , Elon musk, Jeff Bezos and Hillary Clinton. I’m sick of the money that flows to the media on other countries outside of America to Manufacture consent and i am sick that you can’t even say “FUCK AMERICA” in social media, because you fuckers are so thin skinned you can point guns to the rest of the world and can’t even take an insult!
I mean considering the amount of people deported under his terms in office and the normalization of drone strikes he created I would say yeah, he was a bad president, not anywhere near as bad as Trump but still pretty bad. And that’s before you get into him capitulating to the establishment of the Democratic party on things like Obama care getting heavily watered down and just in general losing his progressive edge as soon as he took office.
I remember him recieving the Nobel Peace Prize, then escalating things, lol.
I don’t know if I would classify him as a POS, but I guess the bar is pretty low here. Also dunno if he was much worse than the other post-colonial leaders of the same period.
I mean yeah if you’re grading on a curve he might be more up there but if you’re looking at it objectively as whether he did good or bad things I think he definitely did a lot of bad things, just like almost every president, which was the main point the comment above was making. I think we deserve better but it’s gonna take a lot of fighting against corporate interests to really get there.

This is the sanest comment.
Biden’s economy was shit too, which is what made it possible for Trump to broaden his coalition so significantly.
Serious question,
are you too young to remember Obama or was he considered bad too?
There was a joke under Obama

What does it take for you to classify a war criminal as a POS?
