Literally Obama. This election really burned me out on US politics to be honest. Seeing smart people I generally respect instantly taking the opposite position to Trump no matter what has been a big bummer. It's a bizzaro mirror image of the last 8 years and is really tiring and disheartening.

- chillwaves 10y agoWhich positions have been taken by Trump that you feel are so good that it should cut cross all biases etc? I mean, some people get it wrong sometimes. Sure. And Trump seems to get it wrong a lot. I'm not so sure there should be any position by Trump that can be seen as indisputably good. Sounds like false equivalence on your part.
- true_religion 10y agoIndisputably good? No. But his stances aren't indisputably evil either as is often said. I find myself in the curious position of agreeing with some of Trump's actions but vehemently disagreeing with his reasoning behind them.
