Summary
Barack Obama sharply criticized Donald Trumpās presidency during a speech at Hamilton College, condemning attacks on the press, immigration crackdowns, and threats to civil liberties.
He called it āunimaginableā that Trumpās actionsāsuch as barring the AP and threatening law firmsāwould have been tolerated under past presidents.
Obama warned that Trumpās behavior, though āgoofy,ā poses real danger, and he labeled Trump a āwannabe dictator.ā
He also referenced former Trump aide John Kellyās āfascistā remark and urged Americans not to mistake chaos for leadership.
You could listen to him. He was the only decent president You had in my memory.
Thatās because U.S. Presidents have p much all been warcrime committing bastards who have gleefully pillaged the global south to support their vile hegemony. Obama is a very nice warcrime committing bastard, an excellent orator, but it doesnāt really excuse the shit he did.
Biden was fine.

More or less shitty than Donald?
That is not a reasonable bar by which to judge any living human being.
More like a shit candidate but decent President. He absolutely should have been a one term and allowed dems to run a proper primary. Of course, then the dems would shut out actual progressive candidates, but thatās a whole other thing.
Iām pretty sure ACA was a big deal and a big achievement.
How did ACA fail?
He provided a shit ton of federal student debt forgiveness. It wasnāt blanket, the Supreme Court blocked that, but I know a good number of people who had theirs discharged.
