Who does "we" include" The thing is, if the Obamas were to go on some kind of speaking tour, people like you would still condemn them because they wouldn't condemn the Democratic party and they wouldn't spout left-populist rhetoric. That's not who they are. You all have Sanders and "AOC"...

...Aren't they enough? Why do you all need the Obamas, especially if they're unlikely to be ideologically compliant?

What does that mean? Are you saying the Obamas should be compliant to left-wing populism?

no, even if i wish he believed different things, that’s a different issue than his refusal to use his influence and speak out against a fascist takeover. do you think that someone who agrees 100% with Obama also believes he should stay silent right now?

Why aren't you all calling on the Bidens to speak out?

Obama, like Biden, is an "establishment Dem". "Establishment Dems" aren't "right for the moment", according to you all.

Could you stop putting words in my mouth and engage with the question at hand?

It's not hard to understand that if the Obamas were to put themselves out there, they'd be ridiculed by the same people who are calling for them to put themselves out there.
