Obama was a fake progressive too. Jefferies lives in a fantasy world where Obama’s politics would still be relevant. This is not that America anymore. People want strong action, not milquetoast centrist compromise. We saw Donald Trump and the Republican steam roll everything through for the last two years, so we know it’s possible. We all know that centrist compromise shit always favors the rich over us. We’re sick of corporate stooges doing Progressive cosplay.
