Social network Bluesky, an alternative to X built on open source technologies, has scored a big win in terms of attracting notable users to its platform.
I don’t think that’s the argument being made. I can’t speak for OP but, Obama was objectively a mediocre president.
He was a wall street loving centrist democratic politician.
He campaigned on change and then he bailed out the big banks when the shit hit the fan. Sure, he had some redeeming policies. (ACA and such)
However, this does not detract from the fact that he created no tangible change to the status quo. His shortcomings led directly to the rise of the same rightwing populism that’s decimating government institutions today.
Well, besides him I was alive for Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush jr, Trump and Biden. Clinton had an easy presidency and yet did nothing to undo the damage caused by Reagan and Bindens brain turned to mush before our eyes. And the republican were well, Republicans
How, if the best we can do is another group of rich people?
The last democrat we had in office did nothing about the patriot act and was okay with droning people even when it killed civilians. Yeah, trump is worse, but that didn’t mean anything to a bunch of parents with dead kids.
I like to believe there is going to be a movement that pushes for real populist economic policy. Imho, first It’s going to take having more conversations like this one. Then the ol’ educate, agitate, and organize.

Him being mid core makes him the best president in my life time
Please elaborate.

I have no issues with that statement. I would agree with you. Would you agree we can do better?
In theory. But not in our lifetimes
We have arrived at a disagreement. I believe things can get better.
