That was one of the more interesting SOTU addresses I’ve seen. Personally, I think he said most of the things that needed to be said, and he said them reasonably well. I’m sure he’s going to get some flack for attacking Trump directly (though not by name), but I was frankly glad to see it. Doing otherwise makes it seem like it’s just your typical election/political disagreements, but we’re past that now.

    You are losing rights no matter who sits in the Whitehouse lol. Your country was never the propagandized version of what you want it to be, but it’s somehow getting worse.

      It’s getting worse for sure, but it’s getting worse because it’s sliding right, and it’s sliding right in part because people like you keep arguing that left-leaning people shouldn’t vote for the more left of two candidates because they aren’t left enough, resulting in the more right-leaning candidate getting elected. You’re the cause of the very thing you’re complaining about.

      If Trumps three Supreme Court picks had been made by Clinton or Sanders instead, there wouldn’t be the current discussion about losing rights.

        If my nan had wheels, she’d be a bike. Sanders didn’t win because racism and greed are more important values to your country than freedom and empathy.

          It’s not about who won or lost, it’s about your statement that “You are losing rights no matter who sits in the Whitehouse lol.”

          That’s patently false. If the White House had been held by Clinton or Sanders when those three Supreme Court nominees were selected, we would not be having the discussion of lost rights.
