HOLY FUCK, 

Obama cant do shit because he has been dealing with a big enough majority of GOP obstructionism in both the House and Senate. That is the typical GOP tactic, sabotage and stand in the way then blame the person who is trying to get things done.

Seems weird to make people try to connect those dots to that conclusion.  Especially after the primaries in which Sanders implied Hillary and Obama were both 'paid for' as well.  
I remember Hillary saying "Obama accepted money too.  Is he paid for?"  And Bernie replying by asking how many Wall Street people ended up in jail.

Name me any election primary in our nation's history where words aren't exchanged even within the same party. Even Jefferson and Adams had words between them running for office. 

I think you are stupidly seeking a perfect utopia where that does not happen. 

No, not "paid for" but more like forced to compromise because the GOP controls the narrative. 

The pieces are set now, and dwelling on all the what ifs is bullshit at this point. I think it is foolish to think Trump isn't dangerous. And now is not the time to play a game of chicken because you didn't get everything you wanted.

The last asshole who used political demagoguery and scapegoating and hyper nationalism to get votes started WW2 at the cost of 50 million lives worldwide. It isn't  falsely employing Godwin's law in this case, it applies to Trump. He's scapegoated all sorts of nationalities and races on top of attacking sitting judges with no record of suspicion and blacklisted the press from his events on top of praising the brutality of Saddam. 

This dangerous vile rhetoric is poison to western political pluralism. You can argue that he himself can't become a dictator over night, but the tone he sets if taken by EITHER party, is dangerous tone which can erode and topple our western value of checks on power.

Even Bernie himself has said that Hillary will still be 1,000 times better than Trump. I am not going to play chicken with a despot wannabe like Trump. Our national and global stability is at stake.
