Every president that wins a first term does so with “record turnout.” We’re talking about the fact that voters did not turn out for crucial midterms, which is indeed voter apathy caused by Obama and the Democratic Party breaking all their campaign promises.

No, Obama simply did not care about providing single-payer, so decided to forgo any real fight and expend all political capital on what was a deeply unpopular Heritage Foundation policy.

The president directs the DOJ who to investigate. Obviously Obama couldn’t have simply said “arrest all bankers,” but he had the power to investigate them and chose not to.

And yet the Democratic coalition failed to vote down-ballot, so despite Obama regaining the White House he’d lost his mandate to actually accomplish anything.

Yes, the same racist Americans that voted Obama president twice.

No one turned out because Obama spent all his political capital pushing conservative policy developed by the Heritage Foundation. If Obama had actually pushed legitimate single-payer people might have voted.

I never stated that Sanders support for single-payer is the sole reason for its popularity.

Clinton received 3 million more votes than Trump. She still lost.

Obama lost his mandate when he lost the midterms.

So, you’re saying Obama was a weak president?

Obama tried to push unpopular policies. That's why he was blocked. He had no mandate.

The two-party system is exactly why voting doesn't serve the interests of the marginalized.

Did that law pass before or after Obama lost his mandate because he chose to not respect his campaign promises?

It’s been two years since the 2016 election season, yet with only Sanders as spokesman single-payer has become extremely popular.

This nation does not have mandatory voting, so it actually is the duty of the candidate to work for votes. Civic duty or not.

So you’re stating Obama was a weak president. He couldn’t wrangle a majority of his party, yet Trump can.

When and where did I ever accuse you, specifically, of doing that? I didn’t.

We wouldn’t even be dealing with voter apathy or a debate over money-in-politics if, once again, Obama had actually used his power to inspire Americans into voting.

Obamacare was a conservative policy championed by Mitt Romney until Obama changed the messaging.

We’re living in the real-world. When you have power you wield it. The Republican Party has no qualms with using their power to accomplish incredibly destructive policies, yet Obama simply couldn’t for unspecified reasons.
