this is good! this is exactly the kind of thing we want to see from the elder statesmen of the party! we are not in normal times and should not play by normal rules and it’s important for people like Obama to come out and say it

I am now worried that newsom's redistricting thing isn't far enough.

I don’t trust anything from Obama, he is part of the problem and always is involved when the system wants to block progress.

If Obama went on TV and started attacking Trump with the same fervor that Newsom has been in his tweets, I'm confident we could break Donny down into actual psychosis in a matter of days Say some shit that NewsMax can't help but misguidedly give air time

Yeah I don't like him or newsome, but of course they should do this. And it's absolutely a great thing for Obama to come out and support it.

I mean, I feel it’s high time more democratic politicians frame things like there’s nothing left to lose, in large part because it’s time they recognize Trump and republicans are trying to take everything.

He should publicly be encouraging them to make it 52-0 lol

It's annoying how letter-perfect it is lol - you realize he could be doing this a lot more often but just doesn't

Idk I still feel like the wording implies that republicans can win legitimately with legitimate ideas when they truly can’t, they’re just fucking liars and cheats, and that started long before Obama came to fame

Still bad that he's pretending that Rs should be allowed to have representation.

Oh come on! If you've been on the Internet for more than a year, and don't know how to troll someone as thin-skinned and petty as Donald Trump... well, I think you're just lying. There's literally no art with such an easy target; any art is for the bystanders to enjoy.

For half a second I thought this was about Newsom's terrible take on trans folks and my heart fell to the floor. *phew*

It’s extremely frustrating that the last popular president in American history is not doing more, but this is good.

Take a look at every poll from fall of 2014 and what every dem in a swing seat was saying about Obama; he was more unpopular in late 14 than Biden was in late 22

Not to say that Obama stayed as unpopular for as long as Biden did - I think it’s pretty clear by now that Biden had structural problems that Obama did not; but the late 2014 polling is a good reminder for anyone who thinks Obama has some magic he can deploy

Obama is a sharp guy; he was surely trying everything he could think of to prevent his approval from collapsing as voting was happening in late 2014; didn’t matter It’s not like Obama and Dems didn’t have a good story to tell in late 14, either; objective conditions had improved massively

One thing we can do in this fight is to find ways to stand together as needed with neighboring communities against various forms of fascist aggression. To “stop the bleeding,” so to speak. Collective action is to fascism what daylight is to vampirism. Make them recoil.

If the GOP had ever been more than a fascism-in-waiting party, George W. Bush would do the same.
