Not because of housing crisis? I seriously don't know what specifically he did.

From what i read Obama maintained status quo and was not as progressive so the people most to gain from reform became the ones most victimized. He didnt actively do anything good or bad.
Is having the power and doing nothing worst than someone actively taking it away. I want to say yes but I also think the rapist is worst than the guy that just watched.
he didn't close guantanamo like he promised, and there's a direct throughline from that type of policy to the modern day use of CECOT as a detainment blackbag site. He could have pushed back but he didn't, he gleefully joined the blob. So now the fascist blob controls everything
So it seems you feel dems are going to make things better vs me saying they won't make things significantly worse?
The point is to never let ratchet go right at any cost.
But Maybe yall are right and its all too late Trump will push the country sooo far right and next dem will keep it going to no ones surprise. Guess we will find out together.
