What institutional racism looks like

Dude, I don't carry a book around with me about specific disagreements I have with every politician, but fuck it, I'll bite.

No, I do not consider Obama an awful person, though I do disagree with him politically on select issues despite being a big supporter of him because, news flash, not everyone blindly loves a politician even when they're on the "same side".

As for Clinton, there's hundreds of issues I agree with her on. But I disagree with some, and someone with an approach like yours is not gonna change my mind on them lol

I disagree with her on healthcare. She's been quoted as saying a single-payer system will "never happen." Seeing as I support such a system, there's a strike.

She pandered to anti-vaxxers by saying something to the effect that any link between vaccines and autism should be heavily researched, which sounds nice but the only study that suggested a link was bogus af.

She supports the Patriot Act.

She tends to support military action in the Middle East and Asia too much for my tastes.

She never commented on the Dakota pipeline crisis.

She's not hard enough on fracking for me.

Look, I really don't understand what your problem is with me personally, and honestly I have better things to do than argue on the internet about why I am or am not enough of a Democrat for some rando on reddit.
