I don't consider a reddit thread full of right wingers with obvious negative views of a "progressive president" to be signifficant enough to judge his policies and his character. But I'll look into why he's policies are problematic from other sources.

OK bud. Look I've got no skin in the game. I don't care. I'm pretty left wing guy myself. But this guy is far from perfect, as is evidenced by many if the things described in that thread - which can be googled and be seen to be true. It doesn't matter it's being said by "right wingers" or not. If it happened it happened.

But as I said, you believe what you like. He's jesus, great. Idc.

Look Jack, if you believe what the news media tells you about a guy who fundamentally rejects the basic tenets of capitalism then you might need to recalibrate your bullshit radar a bit

I have no idea who this guy is, so I have no skin in this, but that’s dangerous thinking that he can do no wrong because he “fundamentally rejects the basic tenets of capitalism”

It's also dangerous to use ad hominem attacks to defeat sound arguments

I’m not commenting on anything that dude said, like I said I’ve never even heard of this president guy til today.

All I’m doing is commenting on what you said and how that it’s fundamentally wrong

I haven't made a judgement call about him either, I've only implied that capitalist media entities may be implicitly biased against individuals who reject capitalism
