Nobama

What do we got that you ain't got?  Courage!

It would be hard to understate how massively disappointing (but not surprising) that former President Obama sat in a room full of rich liberals and warned the Democratic Party about embracing Democrats who lurch too far to the left because it would be too upsetting to our rich liberal friends and the snowflakes who occupy the center.

This, of course, from the man whose complete and utter lack of political courage cost us first, the Supreme Court, and second, the Presidency to the most vile man to ever hold the office.  Not to mention, whose complete and utter lack of political courage brought us a recovery from the Great Recession that did not trickle down to America's poor and middle class and merely increased the chasm that is income inequality.  The same man whose complete and utter lack of political courage let all the scumbags whose colossal failure and outright corruption caused our economy to collapse walk away scot-free.

Apparently now that Mr. Obama is getting ready to make his fortune from his New York Times bestseller memoirs and his "motivational" speeches to Corporate America, the rest of us plebes should defer to his wisdom and suck up to the rich folks.

Fuck that--I'm tired of Democratic leadership who are more than content to let the rich get richer--just not as rich!--and the poor get poorer--just not as poor!--as they do when republicans are in control.  And I can goddamned guarantee you that any Democrat who wins the nomination had better be one whole hell of a lot better than not just being Donald Trump...if he or she wants anything more than just my vote.

I've spent far too much time supporting milquetoast Democrats who are too happy to tell me what we can't do--if I'm going to use what precious time I have left on this planet supporting them they fuckina-A better be working toward what we need to do to make life better for the ninety percent of us who didn't win a ticket for the gravy train.

Fuck Donald Trump,
