Did Obama endorse him? That would really make a difference.

Dems have gained nothing by trying to out-GOP the GOP. We're so far right now, Reagan would be considered a tree-hugging socialist hippie in the Dem party now. Move left, waaay left. That's where the voters are.

Oh no. For the last 10 years Axelrod has been more a help to Republicans. His insistence, even when not asked to opens his mouth or gifts us with his “ brilliant”advice is killing us. Hopefully he will fade away quietly. Probably a nice enough person. His time has come and gone .

A damning indictment of a political party that they needed Obama to remind them to endorse their own party’s nominee.

President Obama calling Mamdani can only help him. Yet I read comments here from those on the left attacking Barack and questioning his motives. No good deed goes unpunished with that bunch.

The far left Purity Police hate Obama. They hate Hillary. They hate Harris. It's insane.

That the Democratic establishment panicked shows why the party polls so poorly. I could call it risk aversion, but my gut feeling is that Mamdani's strengths are what they don't like. They want to select uninspiring careerists and game them into office, and see Mamdani as a strategic threat.

But has Obama publicly endorsed him?

I agree with Obama and I’m a 74 year old white woman from the south!

Listen to Obama. He knows how stuff works. He’s a proven winner

@davidcorn needs to get his head out of his ass and soon, if he hopes to remain relevant.

Has Obama publicly endorsed him?

Oh, that’s good news. 👏🏼👏🏼☮️

Obama is too slick, conciliatory, and Est for my liking. I guarantee you he made the case for why you need a broad anti-Trump coalition, and why you need to lean on Dem Party machinery and their vast expertise. Obama’s no progressive reformer. He’s more Est than Disrupter.

He leans into the "no drama" bit too much, always staying between the establishment lines.

My god. Whatever makes you feel better

I could say the same to unquestioning Obama fans.

That is all it’s about for them.

This makes me happy

Is Obama afraid to issue a public endorsement? I don’t care what happens behind the scenes.

👏

Democrats panic over everything. I find it hard to keep supporting a party who, according to reports, still doesn't know how to deal with Trump. I hope they don;t try to sabotage the people who are speaking out like Jasmine, Raskin, Murphy.

archive.ph/XGKlU#select... The Trump who now extols veterans spent years clamoring for New York City’s politicians to take action and ban even those street vendors with special disabled veteran’s licenses from the environs of Trump Tower.

How did that work out in 2022, 2024, 2016, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2004, 2002, 2000.... Seriously man, we have to stop playing by the old rules. They don't matter anymore. The GOP is playing by a completely different playbook now.

And a person's religious beliefs, for God's sake. Isn't our side supposed to be liberal? Have we found some hidden uncrossable discrimination boundary Democrats have yet to acknowledge? Do they secretly cross the road when they think they see a Muslim?

He could’ve been more vocal about it at the time.

It’s almost like Dems regretted electing Obama the way they are reacting. New York politics is different but it ruined Lindsay, ruined Koch, Giuliani, all were considered saviors of the city at the time.

He will win!

And this is how we New York City Democrats vote. #Mamdani4Mayor #ObamatheGreat

In other words, game recognizes game.

They have a similar vibe.

I think he’s dangerous to Jews but you only see antisemitism if it comes from Nazis.

Has Obama endorsed mamdani?

Okay, so we are reading about this in a column in the New York Times but not directly from Obama--has he spoken publicly?

Panicking democrats are fucking idiots. i.e. Adam Schiff George Clooney Jon Stewart Every other asshole who called for Biden to step aside. They can all go fuck themselves.

Don’t let Obama Rahm you.

What, to threaten him lol

Are the....... Eisenhower Highways Library, park, police, fire, internet Examples of Socialism

No one should wonder why Obama captivated the party. And you want to know a dirty little secret? Kamala has some of those same qualities. We were sooo excited for her. 😔

Kamala was robbed. We all know that.

To many rabid Fascist and racist...and they are proud to teach their spawn how to be both! But then they voted for a convicted felon and a rapist so they are probably teaching how to do that also.

The time to do that was the day after the primary because serious politicos would have already spoken to him. All that's left are the dregs.

A very concise and succinct summary; you my friend have…

It's a good start. Now lets see Obama make some public statements.

A good start.. hmm. You do know that Obama doesn’t owe you or anyone anything.

What’s your purpose in saying that?

Where is your full throated endorsement @barackobama.bsky.social ?
