I just saw a post calling Obama, Biden and Harris useless right now, and I'm trying to understand this rational because none of these people currently hold office.

And the clowns saying this didn’t respect them enough to listen when they all warned the country.
Thy are private citizens. Stop asking them to try to fix the broken non voters!
From a strategic perspective, I don't want Obama nor Biden front and center. Their preference towards bipartisanship and assuaging Republicans' feelings is why the GOP has a federal trifecta now.
If our institutions functioned as intended, then I would call them because they're great at maneuvering politically, but we are at a point where none of that really matters as much right now.
None of these fucks have a stake in establishment politics right now, zero incentive to stay unopposed to actively useless space fillers or AT LEAST mobilize for supporting the special elections and pour in their own money.
They were worthless for doing anything to stop this while they were in office, and the bare minimum they could be doing now is using their enormous platform to back people who are actually doing shit. Even 5 calls. Much less endorsing Pelosi's primary challenger now that they're out of the game.
It’s a prevent defense to create a mindset that you stupid MoFo’s don’t need them so you won’t look for them or accept them, it’s working already using online media to create a mindset, just look how successful it was in convincing that a grifter was in your best interest.
No. It's more every accusation is a confession. Most of the people in their cross hairs? Are black. Are women. Etc. The confession is. They know they need our votes and hate it.
They either supported them...thinking that they'd be somehow automatically absolved of racism past and future, or they voted for her to pretty much do the same. Either way, they want THEIR feelings tended to over the reality of the situation.
I don’t think Democratic membership stretches into the millions. A party isn’t just the elected representatives, it has a leadership, the people who decide strategy and draw up policy. But the Democrats don’t seem to have a strategy at all. They’re sitting and watching. Except one brave hero. Kudos.
I know billionaires aren't the fucking answer, but they own the bully pulpit right now. So, Mark Cuban (not a huge fan) might be a voice that cracks this platinum ceiling.
And also, for the most part all three are institutionalists, so I dunno what folks would expect out of these folks at a moment when institutionalism has failed.
I’m thinking all current Dems are institutionalists and, as such, they are all waiting for this to collapse in on Trump. They are counting on democracy holding. Unfortunately, it will be too late when democracy doesn’t hold. So who is our fighter, our leader, our savior of democracy NOW, RIGHT NOW?
I agree and I’m calling both Senators and my Rep almost daily. Trying to affect my little sphere. And knowing others are doing the same so maybe all these little pieces come together for a single, large force that gets the boulder moving up the hill to stop this crap. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
I think it is irrational but I also think that Congress has become so useless that even with the on-paper power it wields it has failed to handle a corrupt judiciary, an insurrectionist president, & coup by billionaire. People know Congress won’t help. It’s too broken. So they are looking to ANYONE…
…even if their ask of the unelected triumvirate of Obama, Biden, & Harris is ridiculous. Schumer et al had already failed before Trump took office a 2nd time, & they show no interest in redeeming themselves for that.
But those 3 are not the ones to ask anyway. They all favor “norms” over action
I mean, they could actually support the non-White Dems who are actually fighting fascism right now but then they'd have to support politicians that work towards social justice not maintaining an abusive status quo so.... 🤷♀️
It's important. Add Hillary to the list. These are people who ran for our votes to be leaders. They already have a base that trusts them and we do not have time to sit on our hands.
Democrats are not leaders they are just career politicians. Why are you people insisting on whining about us noticing
Hillary has been telling people for an actual decade what was at stake and people didn’t listen. Harris, Obama, Biden the same, and what was the result? At what point are voters responsible for their own choices?
Lmaoooooo I'm sorry she told the man to run. They decided to split voters and run a war hawk as an opposition to a rising fascists. Dems just love smelling their own shit. She WAS part of the lube that got us here with her refusal to address corporate money. Now look corporations sitting behind the
President. She helped set the standard for establishment dems and their voters that they should NEVER ask them when they are taking money or being apart of murder. What Hillary and her husband did to aid in Haiti should be disqualifying. I watched that woman lie on TV in my civics class about being
Shot at. Then lie about lying when she got caught.
I've been voting dwm and get slandered by them all my life. I watched dem voters go after poc women who are NEVER absent from fights like this. Always part of community aid. Always checking in on people. Why? Because we have the nerve to be ask
For a candidate that's voters didn't boo and literally HISS at young black women for questioning her super predators comment/history verbal supporting terrible policies.
They ran Joe the career liar and segregationist right after we still showed up for you. Vote blue gave us Gaza destruction and
lol White people in general in america have so much more influence on the american public than democrats that the american public literally killed itself with covid-19 because those white people said not to wear masks.
They also spent pretty much all of 2024 laying out exactly what trump would do and was preaching from the rooftops about how bad it would be. It’s not their fault people didn’t listen. We could have had Kamala as president and been straight chillin instead of the shitshow we have now.
That's what I can't figure out. They warned us, loudly and clearly, and people didn't listen then but they're suddenly going to listen to them now? Come on.
There is no republican caused atrocity so horrible that idiots (many of whom did not vote for the dem candidate out of moral purity) will not immediately and loudly blame the democrats for not preventing it.
These are the cries of people who berated all of these people, screamed we needed a revolution AGAINST THEM, then got mad bc these people won’t lead their revolution.
Baby… go BE the change in the world you said was necessary.
Cornell West and Jill Stein is who y’all should ACTUALLY be seeking.

Notes need to be taken on who shows up now because fighting fascism is forever. Cori Bush is our here doing exactly what you'd expect from a leader

Still, if any of the Dems wants to run the campaign is now
Why weren't we all sure that Bush II should try to reason with his fellow GOPer Prez?
AFAIK, Shrub never said an effing word.
