Obama was the worst modern day President. He absolutely blew a historic opportunity to racially unite the country and he did just the opposite. He will forever be known as “The Great Divider”. |
Yes, there mere fact of him being the first black President drove white racists insane. How dare he! |
??? Everything we see today in MAGA is because we had a black president. One who the right lied about his religion, his birthplace and even the clothes he wore. He was vilified for 8 years, and detracted politically on the Hill. He came into office with ridiculous economic headwinds and managed to stabilize and slowly growth the economy. He left the country better than he found it. Unlike his successor, he has been married once, has kids with the same spouse, attends church and is otherwise a model citizen. And yet, he and his family endured nothing but overt and subtle racism the entire time. Exactly how did HE cause more racism other than being black while president? |
We're in danger of having a 2024 election with the two weakest major party nominees in our history and all you can think to do is smear a very decent person and solid president because he couldn't unite you pea brain racists? |
Tim Scott for VP might push him over the edge in a few swing states if a small percentage of Black voters switch from D to R. Black Percentage of registered voters for swing states. Georgia: 32%, NC: 22%, Michigan: 13%, PA: 10%. I don't want Trump to win, but a lot of Democrats are being way too confident that Biden will definitely win. The 2020 NC governors races suggest some vote switching will occur if Trump chooses a Black VP. In 2020 Incumbent NC Governor Cooper (D) got reelected with 51.5% of the vote. Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson (R) got 51.6% and he did not have incumbency advantage. In 2020 there were multiple NC counties with a large Black population where Democrats won for Governor, but Republicans won for Lieutenant Governor. https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/north-carolina/governor/ https://www.jsonline.com/elections/results/race/2020-11-03-other-NC-36019/ |
Where are you seeing this. Because I see a lot of “the fundamentals look far better for Democrats than they do for Republicans, but I won’t feel safe till after the election,” and 0.0% of Democrats sure we’re going to win. We all remember 2016. |
I know exactly zero democrats who are confident. Everyone I know is using spare time to volunteer to write postcards and phone bank. |
Maybe their mad about the ACA being a super liberal program (that happened to be based on Heritage Society proposals in a vain attempt to be bipartisan) |
It is 100% this. If democrats truly believe that democracy is in real peril, why are sticking with Biden? The claims of "we have no other candidate!" is cop out. Are you really saying that there is no other competent democratic leader in the entirety of the US? |
1) the polling supports Biden over any "generic" dem as well as any named dem including Newsome, Bashear, Whitmer, etc. 2) Why subject the party to "dems in disarray" at this time? The party is unified with a goal of defeating Trump. How would a new candidate get chosen and what is to say the blue dogs or progressives walk away as a result? No, the only people calling for this are GOP who know Trump is a horrible candidate and want the Dems to be in the same pickle. |
You clearly have never seen Biden talk. Try watching the unedited videos of him talking to reporters, other speeches, impromptu reactions to questions. You won’t see any of that on CNN or MSNBC or other mainstream media news. It doesn’t fit their narrative. Harris is unqualified. Period. |
Ruh roh……inflation came in higher than expected. So much for Bidenomics. Of course when you print trillions of dollars and have inflation inducing policies that’s going to make inflation worse. Duh. And he is proposing higher corporate tax rates which is only going to make inflation worse when they are passed onto their customers. Why Dems/Libs don’t understand basic economics is beyond comprehension. |
+1 Exactly! Obama and his very lefty policies are the reason Trump was elected in the first place. The “Great Divider” is hands down one of the worst Presidents ever. |
And yet, he was voted in 2x back to back, and Trump not. Even some Rs didn't want Trump. I think that's another reason why Obama lives in Trump's head rent free. Yuuuuge blow to Trump's ego. |
SUCH a great question. |
