    obama’s managed to pull in a lot of leftist voters in his first election, but his second election was dramatically less effective at doing so and i suspect that a 3rd election would be even less so now that we know of a lot of his sins.

      At the very least get someone entirely new. Bernie could have won by repackaging Obama’s 2008 vibe and maybe he would have reduced the imperial boomerang by some degree…who tf is going to re-elect the guy who said “SIKE!” on day one: both Obama and Biden?

      Hogs are awful people, but you know they will make good on their campaign promises.

          When it’s my turn to explain a Hexbear joke dean-smile

          Basically, “hog” is another way to refer to reactionaries. Even non-hexbear related leftists will use it like Hasan. IDK where it comes from but it kind of ties in to some of the weird pig jokes we make like “post hog” or pigpoopballs.
