Agree with you. Elect the politicians to do your bidding, not because they are nice, or because they are "same" as you.

Obama comes across a super "nice" person, promises alot of "change". After 8 years, the situation got worst. Nothing changed except a half-ass scheme called Obama care, which is now going to be ditched by the new government. More wars and more opaque trade treaties that favour the large corporate gangsters. None of the banking fraudsters are jailed but continue to gamble the system (Wells Fargo come to mind).

Obama helped the people when the Great Recession hit. He could have done more if the Republicans cooperated. Republicans did not want to provide assistance to the people. Obama still managed to extend unemployment insurance a few times. Obamacare in its original form was also forestalled by the Republicans.
You complain about those bankers responsible for the Great Recession not being charged. Well, again, thank your right-wing heroes who protected them. You think Trump will go after them? Fat chance. In fact, Trump will help them by getting rid of the all the regulations that Obama put in to prevent another financial meltdown.
Before you spout, please use facts lah. Merely repeating right-wing tales does not make you look credible.

He is black. But more blacks are jobless, disenfranchised, jailed. One of the major factor Hillary lost was less than expected number of black men came out to vote her (less turn out). Strangely enough the "racists" Donald Trump got one of the highest black voters in Republican's recent history.

Obama is president of All Americans, not black Americans. The problem is systemic and there is only so much that the President can do.

The middle east got worse after 8 years. More American soldiers are on the ground, more refugees, more terrorism.

More US soldiers are on the ground? Get real fact, please.

Obama is a useless indecivisive rubbish who loves spending his time trying to look nice in media, rub shoulders with celebrities. I almost throw up everything the media has news about his try hard effort to charm the public when the most important stuff are not being dealt with.

Imagine if you are the BOSS, hires a staff who cannot make it, but nice. You still keep him around? Or your wife hires a maid, who cant cook cant clean cant whatever, but she is "nice". Your family wants to retain her?

You are clueless.

On that basis, you justify police racial profiling and brutalities against blacks? Guess you don't give a damn about individual rights, especially of minorities.

Racial profiling does not violate human rights. Its prudent safe policing. Look at all the policemen in the US that have been shot and killed by blacks. And when I get on a plane, I want every single fucking arab who gets on it with me to be racially profiled too and subject to extra checks. If you don't like it, tough shit.

So did the pap...but they get 70% of the vote....the rise of trump n brexit n racism n bigotry is due to left wing bleeding heart liberal fuck wit policies which your kind advocates..so blame yourself for the shit that is happening.

Election in sinkapore is rigged.
Don't worry ...the cycle will come back to progressiveness when the ordinary folks see how right-wing policies screw them up. Lies will be exposed eventually.

If you like right-wing policy so much, sinkapore is nirvana.

Does Spore have a right wing policy :confused:

Isn't it more about a single family trying to maintain their power via a patronage system?

By the next GE Spore will be in a real mess & we'll probably see more Spore natives more open to the idea of voting in alternative parties.

However by then the culprits will be long gone.

U can be in politics and still be humble. U heard of Mahatma Gandhi? Its not mutually exclusive.

In my opinion, Gandhi was more of an ascetic religious leader (who literally led by his example) than a true politician, simply because he had no desire to rule over people, let alone threaten to use physical force against them if they were to disobey him. :wink:

The question is why do ordinary folks know all these facts and has the ability to assess these facts while sinkies are clueless about their own political land.

Some of you might argue that Trump’s moral fibre is simply not there, and that he is not a nice person.

Having moral fibre is relative. Anyone who claims that Trump has little moral fibre should be reminded where and from whom Bill got his infamous blowjob. :biggrin:

Singapore by nature of its politics can be considered right wing. In the US, Old fart would be considered and ultra right winger.
