Former President Barack Obama stumped for Vice President Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh on Thursday, where he all but invited a wisecrack about former President Donald Trump. Polls in key swing states such as Pennsylvania remain tight, and Trump's numbers have improved in recent weeks. The Harris campaign is hoping Obama can help turn out votes
The downvoters apparently are fans of that
It happens 🤷
Weirdo blue maga people, blue no matter who people. They are worse than red maga in some ways.
I remember how Michael Moore disappeared as soon as Obama was elected. Obama increased drone strikes, bombed weddings schools and hospitals including a doctors without borders hospital, kept gitmo open, extended and expanded domestic surveillance. All the stuff Michael Moore was writing books and making movies about during the Bush admin were apparently no longer a problem now that a Democrat was doing them. Really changed my perspective.
Obama did some good things. But mainstream democrats are still right of center on the political spectrum and are still beholden to their corporate donors.
The downvotes are funny as it is people downvoting facts.
I wish Obama was as progressive as his speeches suggested he was, but alas. He was able to pass a healthcare plan, albeit a neoliberal republican healthcare plan.
Obama would probably be a decent Supreme Court justice, he has some good ideas and knows law I believe. But I don’t know if he would do the right thing and overturn citizens united
I would buy Obama a beer, Kamala and walz and Biden for sure. I don’t think I would want to be in the same room with him, Trump I mean
I would have accepted a centrist if he had done anything at all to dial back bushs aggressive attacks on our civil liberties and the people of the Middle East. He didn’t, in a lot of ways he ramped them up. Hope and change my ass. Fuck Obama.
I am weaning myself off of giving votes for neoliberals after Obama. Starting with the president vote, trying to do the same for state and local elections but it’s exponentially more difficult
