Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.

Shit take. The truth is that building something good is much harder than sowing chaos. (I only read the tagline.)
I am not defending Obama or Biden. Biden is a conservative. I dont know what Obamaz motivations are, but he is not an honest person.
Yeah it would have been sooo hard to stop putting children in cages or close Guantanomo or to cut funding for genocide or to reduce police funding. Truly it takes a genius statesman to change any of that.
Also the difference is it's mostly executive action and literally every single GOP member falls in line unless they are retiring so they never reign him in. Had Obama or Biden had that blind support it could have possibly been different.
Trump got that blind support by first getting populist support and leveraging it. Democrats don't court their populists, they scold them.
