Obama is by far the best president we've had in the past few decades, but overall he still sucks pretty badly. He was the first presidential candidate who got more than a billion dollars in donations for the race, at a time where Democrats were guaranteed to win no matter who they picked because of Bush. He's still "the establishment" that American voters hate so dearly.
Democrats should run a candidate more like FDR (who won FOUR terms as president) or Harry Truman or Jimmy Carter. A social democrat, an actual leftist-adjacent candidate. I would say someone like Bernie Sanders, but that ship has already sailed long ago... Socialist policies are popular with average Americans when nobody tells them they're socialist.
Unfortunately, the Democratic party leaders are owned by corporate money so that's not going to happen. We're gonna keep getting stupid shit like Kamala's "tough on crime" and "locking down the border" rhetoric, instead of "universal healthcare" and "zero-tuition education".
Wealthier people are by far the most difficult customers. They think they're entitled to everything because they're "rich" and "above" wage slaves, so they get pissy and aggressive the moment something doesn't go their way (and sometimes they'll just make a ruckus for fun).

It was crazy for me working at a mexican restaurant and the only people who got argumentative over the $13 for a burrito with just 4 oz of meat (total rip-off) were the ones who could definitely afford it, while the poorer people just accepted it. And the wealthy people always came in again (usually regulars) and expected it to be more every time.

Welp, pack it up boys, all of our buddhist neighbours are Nazis
It didn't have to be this way
Ok, that's more than twice the population of Wyoming's capital. If I don't ignore that Wyomingites exists then there's no reason to ignore that North Koreans exist outside of North Korea
TIL the merit of a broad socioeconomic system is dependent upon if nations that adopt it can militarily defeat the 3rd largest country and government that has hundreds of years of industry and exploitating various groups of people beforehand
And those like you wonder why the surviving socialist countries were authoritarian and highly militarized...
Yeah, that money should be going to oil, automotive, and banking/finance oligopolies like the rest of the trillions are!
