reminds me of another phrase he liked when people criticized him or offered better alternatives that didn't work for the party elite.
"Don't make perfect the enemy of the good." - Obozo
as though there was ever a shot at perfection anywhere on the horizon of U.S. policy. Bernie's slow rolled SocDem ideas were the compromise. and you know what, if the chance came for a perfect shot, you fuckin' take it you dipshit.
4 years of Trump and ? years of Biden after the brilliant Harvard brainking, and this place is about near more fucked than when Obama came in. Reagan era inflation, housing market cornered by speculators and inaccessible to most, a million dead from a plague just in the US, nuclear exchange back on the menu, Yemeni genocide, women's reproductive rights gutted, supreme court packed with psychos, cops more vicious and highly funded than ever. thank god obama played 5-D chess to a stalemate with healthcare and the wall street regulations. imagine, horror, we had national healthcare and powerful institutional stakeholders advocating against vaccine apartheid, making nurse:patient ratios transparent, and not allowing juked stats on hospital bed availability.
but yeah, "purity" politics: bad! negotiating against your constituents before your adversary gets in the room: good!
fuck you obama. i hope your giant estate in hawaii gets swept away by hashem.
