Dear Obama Supporters Who Claim to also be "Left-wing": Please Justify Yourselves
Seriously. I question whether it is even a fair to vote for Obama under a "lesser of two evils" argument. How is this man anything but a right-wing nut job?
So are you an Obama supporter / democratic party hack or are you a genuine left-wing ideologue, because they seem pretty mutually exclusive at the moment. |

i think we already had this argument in some supreme court thread or another
however, I would like to ask why you, of all people, bandy about the term "ideologue" to refer to the political wing you don't agree with? |

He's arguably done more to erase personal freedom than any president in history. The fact he's a warmonger is icing in his weird neo-con cake.

Yeah, Obama's policies again are arguably worse than his. As painful as it may be, these drone attacks, ability to hold citizens captive with no warrants, etc are devastating IMO.

He didn't do the drone stuff in countless countries though, right? He didn't authorize the potential killing of US citizens by drone iirc. He's probably a better choice than Romney, but I can't cite for him again in good conscious.

Oh, but the arrogant marxist brainswashed neo-libtards believe state rights must be a delusion. And they must do all they can to continue the Orwellian double-speak as their current fabain socialist god Obama does his best to brainwash the masses with his class envy rhetoric.

I made this thread in part because I haven't lived in the US for such a long time and was shocked/appalled to see a bunch of Obama 2012 yard signs and bumperstickers when I visited this spring. I just wanted to know if people were really that stupid. I knew that the vast majority of republicans were willing to follow whoever made the loudest noise against godless socialists, but I would have thought that the eight year memory of Bush's policies, which Obama has effectively followed or expanded, would be fresh enough to cause actual left-wingers to go somewhere else. Maybe this merely confirms my suspicion that there really is almost no discernable left-wing in the US.

I meant that in a neutral way. And, I know this is going to sound incredible for those who have been here longer than three years or so, but it is no longer safe to assume that I don't agree with "the left."

I wasn't paying attention at this time, so it doesn't count. I now have time to kill while I wait for the universe to give me a job.

Many democrats agree with all or much of Obama's foreign policy. Most progressives and liberals are not single issue voters. They won't jump to another candidate on one or two issues. |
