    I mean that’s the reason we have the words: “better” and “worse.”

    If something is “better than”, then yes, I believe it is better.

    Y’all act like anyone said Obama was a saint. Hell, some saints have been worse than Obama.

      It’s why the overton window keeps shifting, because the level of evil you accept keeps looking better in comparison to worse.

        Ok what’s your suggestion? To keep going with “worse”? To what end? What if I told you that not everyone wanted Bernie Sanders? What if I told you we live in a world where we need to live with each other and we all have different opinions and values?

        Since you can’t get everything YOU want you think you’re morally superior to others around you.

        Would you say that James Buchanan and/or Andrew Jackson are worse better or worse than Obama?

        History is full of horrible presidents, kings and leaders. Progress isn’t a straight line.
