Let's be honest, Obama is at least partially responsible for the USA being in the situation it is now. We don't need Obama again, we need an actual left candidate that will actually fight for leftist agenda items, like Medicare for all, and not double down on W Bush policies and kill thousands of people with drones.
Obama ran on a left leaning agenda with major grassroots support, then dismantled that organization and governed as a center right Democrat.
The point is that there's NOTHING that would infuriate Trump more - and any argument for how Trump can run for a third term will also then apply to Obama.
Any US opinion of what's "left" and "right" is unparseable for us who live in Europe anyways.
uh, he could lose to AOC and then he's losing to a black woman that he already hates?
You're underestimating how easy it is to infuriate Trump, and overestimating how worthwhile it is. I'd much sooner have that fat fuck drown in his own blood than want to get a rise out of him. Instead of letting in a shitty moderate who ultimately enabled Donald Trump for the lulz, I'd prefer we get someone who will re-establish the rule of law and imprison Trump and all of his cronies.
If you sink to their level, they will beat you with experience. You think you can out-troll the nihilistic right. You can't. Leftism is based on the idea of actually giving af.
If we manage to emerge from this with MAGA destroyed, we will have a rare opportunity to rebuild this nation, and the LAST thing we should do is go back to the same old-same old, with weak, spineless, Democratic weenies like Obama, Schumer, and their weasely ilk.
We need to have bold, courageous Democratic elected representatives who will hold the line when the Nazis try to rise again, and fight them with everything we have. Not like the last time, when they bent over at every opportunity.
