We are in a constitutional crisis and the Democratic party's best public speaker to rally a resistance to the MAGA movement is nowhere to be found.
Where is Barack Obama? π€·πΌββοΈ

If the party could develop a cohesive message it would go a long way
Instead, we should be rallying behind people like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Jaimie Raskin and the new voices that have stood up against this regime already.
But it's time for the people to save the Republic, or not.
It's time for democrats to unite and worry less about the typeface than the message.
Do you hear statements from the republicans as a body? Itβs just Trump and his side kick Mike
What is the same and what isnβt if Trump takes complete power?
I mean we canβt stop thug booted men in masks.
So what does a βPartyβ even mean?
Neoliberalism didn't energize the right during Obama's presidency. Racism did and still does.

That's a great strategy to increase voter turnout in 2026.

Jeffries
Schiff

>>>>We do **not need** the typical Dem dithering<<<<
2. WTF are you doing your speeches and strategizing?
3. Why is it Pres. Obama's responsibility to fix this?
3a. Especially after the utter abdication of responsibility by the DNC for getting us in this mess to start with?

During their tenure?!
If that's not enough for you, then go fuck yourself.

Leave former President Obama alone.
Republicans need a spine to combat Project 2025, this WH, and maga congressional representatives
I don't hear anybody asking for Bill Clinton or Al Gore or John Kerry.
Everyone asks for Barack Obama or Kamala Harris - but they won't listen to them when they COULD have to avoid being in the mess we're all in now.
Butttttt - Obama is still behaving like a normal former president not undermining the current President and "only one president at a time" BS.
I would like to see Springsteen and Taylor go on a US tour and have Obama be the opening act.

Don't blame this man who worked his ass off for 8 years and then campaigned his ass off for Hillary, Joe, and Kamala. He told you loud and clear and white people still voted for a convicted felon who tried to kill is own VP
Obama saw the intel that the Russians were trying to help Trump get elected, but refused to warn the American people before the election.
It's all in Bremmer's article.
You should read it.
THIS COUNTRY'S GREED AND RACISM are responsible for that.

I think it's really interesting how little accountability people expect from the people who are not only in power, but wrecking the country

Did he do that before the election?
I must have missed that.

The first time ...?
2016.
Did you miss it?
So good to hear reasonable words from a politico.

Why does everyone always call on the person who's given more than anyone else ...?
@hcrichardson.bsky.social provided a very intelligent & thought-provoking conversation with him-- I know that I haven't stopped replaying parts in my mind since then.
I was so glad he was candid, but also that they ended with words of hope (he's always been the best with that!).
Obama is no longer involved - the Democrats need to find some new blood, or utilise the members they have and make serious changes.
Getting rid of the octogenarians and career politicians would be a good start.
The world now is in the gravest danger, and there is no excuse for not using any leverage available...

The extent to which people expect him to continue to give give give without expecting more from anyone else other than Kamala Harris kind of gives away the game, & they don't even see themselves
