They're both shit, Obama committed and covered up hundreds of war crimes in the Middle East and other countries, declared Linux users terrorists, Snowden, Assange etc. like with Trump the list is too long.
This is what a FPTP voting system gives you in the worst case scenario, a 2-party state, both parties being not only dogshit but also authoritarian.
Obama doesn't know his shit, he's a Chicago school economist and a war criminal. He was a better president than Trump but that's an extremely low bar to clear.
Yeah, it's comments like that (and the amount of upvotes they tend to receive) that make me wary of lemmy... Nobody is saying you need to agree with Obama. We get it, he's a "stupid lib" or whatever. But to suggest he isn't intelligent is just fucking absurd.
