I think many would say it is un-fixable and we should hope for its demise and/or radical reconstruction. I'm more cautious about that because the only road to demise and most roads to radical reconstruction lead through chaos, and I think chaos always favors the powerful.
but anyway the point is a lot of folks say bc Obama put a smiling face on genocide, he impeded radicalization and actually slowed down process, basically bc he placated many marginalized people (through lies), marginalized ppl who could/should have been radicalized instead.

Shrug. I don't think he lied to us much either but you know, just trying to represent a viewpoint I don't necessarily share with as much fidelity as possible. Also domestically I increasingly believe the deportation wave that he backed had no relation to sound policy.
