Can you guys just put obama back in? I would unironically say thanks. It would be poetic.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 17 points 4 months ago

Yeah there's still a few doctors without borders hospitals he hasn't bombed yet.

No. Trust me, this would be amazing but he cannot legally run again :(

No, there's an amendment in our consimtituion that says a president can only be in office for two terms total. The only president who evaded this was FDR and he's still villainized to this day.

Actually. I'm pretty sure hes the reason that amendment got passed.

Before FDR it was just a tradition, started by George Washington. Personally I think FDR deserves a pass, he got us out of the great depression and through WW2, it would have been hard to have a leadership change in the midst of that turmoil.

Totally agree. But imagine a 4-term Obamna presidency, with the orange avatar of conservative rage building in strength and gathering malice for 16 years instead of 8.

I am pro term limits, but you're kinda making a good counter point. Eight more years of Obama instead of Trump and Biden... Doesn't seem that bad. The conservatives went ballistic anyway, at least we'd have reproductive rights and better healthcare. I'm certain Obama would have been a lot better at managing COVID and the BLM protests. He was pro ceasefire in Gaza way before Biden too. Idk, for all his flaws, Obama seems better than what we got in his place.

I would have loved it too. But the backlash would be intense

[-] absentbird@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Fair enough, but the backlash from 8 years was already beyond the pale.
