Another deconversion thread
Yes, I've deconverted from being an Obama supporter.
​
I have understood all along that Obama was a pragmatic centrist. I never assumed that he was on the political left. I don't have a problem with that.

The latest tax "deal" offends my moral principles. How much welfare do those poor suffering rich folk really need?

And you people were mocking me when I voiced my support for Hillary up to the end.
I don't think I mocked anyone over that.
​
I actually expected Hillary to win the nomination. I think it was her history of support for the war that did her in. My initial take was that Obama was mainly running to gain additional name recognition, and did not expect to do as well as he did in the primaries.

Somewhat relevant to this discussion (from Statism and Wikileaks):
The first book I ever read was 1984. I am horrified that it turned out to be a documentary of the future of democratic liberalism. We are not in a democracy any more.
