15. There's a group of people here

who defend Obama no matter what the issue. It's almost exactly the same a people who have faith in a church and will make excuses and defend that church regardless of how many kinds get abused or whatever the church does. Yeah, Obama has done some very good things, but that doesn't mean one should ignore the bad things that he's doing, like promoting this fossil fuel boom at the expense of the environment, or promoting the TPP. You can sum those people up with a simple BASIC program:

10 PRINT "OBAMA, GOOD"
20 GOTO 10

Note this program doesn't take or respond to any input or data.

What we really need is not a centrist, pragmatic democrat, but one who actually will fight for democratic principles. The country has moved too far right, where business interests trump the interests, and often even the survival, or citizens. the only jobs program left is mass funding of military contractors. Although that does keep some jobs going, it often doesn't produce anything useful - I'm thinking of the Daily Show segment on tanks ("Tanks, tanks, tanks" by Al Madrigal), and missile defense systems - and lines the pockets of the CEOs of the contracting companies more than it creates jobs. We need a government that is willing to actually look at these things, decide they're fucked up, and actually try to fix them rather than perpetuating them.
