Talking to your Maga family members is definitely more helpful. The Obamas tried to warn them 3 times and Trump won those demographics 3 times.

Obama coming out and saying the current Dem leadership is unable to meet the moment and needs to be replaced would actually have a positive national effect Not sure why you think me talking to a couple trump voters in Texas would have the same effect?

They shouldn't come out against the current people in power but the party that is entirely in the minority. Cool cool cool.

Do you believe those things are mutually exclusive, that one wouldn't effect the other and that if I put my hands in front of my face, I disappear until I say peekaboo?

Do I believe the single thing you mentioned is mutually exclusive with nothing? Or am I considering the multiple times both of them spoke at length about the danger of what Trump promised to do and your people ignored them.

Jesus fucking Christ, why is an anarchist whining about a problem they keep promising to fix?

I'm an anarchist but I recognize not everyone is and that we live in a society that is not. So I think people with levers of power should still use them to make the world better I, as centrist libs so often ask, put aside purity tests in the name of making achievable changes for the better

Purist during campaign season but not when it doesn’t matter. That plan has flaws.

People are burning Teslas and you're upset the Obamas won't talk to you. You are quite the anarchist.

I'm upset that an extremely influential politician isn't using his influence and power to help push back on growing fascism. I could care less if he talks to me. He should talk to his party though! And not sure what burning Teslas has to do with holding an anarchist position though

They have spoken out. Why didn't you listen? Why would people listen now?

I mean, I didn't say they shouldn't come out against trumps administration Part of the OPs frustration is that they haven't really done so since the election!

I, personally, just think the most influential man in the party saying "these spineless old windbags have to go" would probably be a more effecient and effective use of his personal gavitas

If you think Bernie is more influential in a political party he's not a member of than Obama, you're wildly out of touch
