Shitlib centrist policies are what got us here. You want to actually save this country you have to move to the left on a national level. There's no other way out of this. Time to deal with it.
No … I do not, and I don't blame Michelle a Obama for wanting no part of returning to the White House. The Obamas performed an exceptional job. Now, we new new dynamic leaders to step up!
I don’t care if they are progressives, centrists or moderate democratic leadership ..I’m looking for anyone willing to fight for the people and get sh”t done.
I have an aversion to status quo politicians. I’m not a very patient person in that arena. I guess I just feel like the bounce back up has to be as extreme as the fall, that we take the opportunity to REALLY fix the cracks in the system that is currently being shredded, recognize and fix the flaws.
nah. time for new blood. not trying to backpedal to a continuation of neoliberal policies that just continued the slow descent to madness we are in now. it will not be the same, it will need to be rebuilt to work better for EVERYONE. wipe the slate clean, start over.
Seriously!! I loved Obama, but to see them all laughing and canoodling with Dump at Jimmy Carter’s funeral was fucking disgusting and unforgivable. So, yeah, new blood!!
i think Obama was a really good president, and did his best. but he was locked in with reaganomics. we got the ACA, but honestly it was still crumbs to the peasants and gold to the rich.
Personally I think we are beyond this. Wishful thinking though. But someone like AOC or Bernie has more of a feel on the pulse than Obama now who is been completely silent for the last three months.
Wonderful thought but I don't think you could convince Obama to run again. Why would he want to go through that again? Constant attacks from the republicans & MAGA. No thanks. Hopefully there will still be fair elections in America but given musk is basically interfering in elections not so sure.
I know you’re just trying to point out that he would be a better third term president than Trump but in reality, that’s just asking for the constitution to be further disrespected in a time when it gets no respect from the people who have taken an oath to protect it
Gavin Newsome has been going full MAGA. He has been continuously throwing Progressive Democrats under the bus these past few weeks saying we are toxic, and that we are destroying the party. What is his fkin end game here, does he really think he can switch parties and still have a political future?
Don't worry they've already thought of this. Their plan is to argue that he's allowed to run again because he didn't serve two consecutive terms. Obama served consecutive terms so therefore under their logic he can't run again but Trump can.
Yeah it's literally the most ridiculous argument ever but I think it was Steve Bannon who came up with it if I'm remembering correctly so it's not surprising that it's as idiotic as it is
Was a huge PBO fangirl, actually cried when he won his 1st term
After 4 yrs I still dutifully voted for him but was a lot less enthusiastic
By the time he left he had fully evolved into a neolib, center right along with the rest of the *other* corp owned conservative party😞

Trump will choose himself. He's too narcissistic to choose anyone else. There's no one who he thinks is better. Also, he's too power-hungry, greedy, & too big of a grifter to give up the presidency. What about his parasitic family? How will they live if he were to give up the job? I forgot jail!
There will be an election. Even Putin has elections. They won't even rig the whole shebang to give Putin-esque 90% votes.. They'll just rig it to shift the swing states red. Like last time.
I think it will be very difficult to overcome a rigged count. My hope is that, as the process is controlled by states and not federal govt, that the process can be hardened and elections can be made secure in spite of Trump/Musk ..
The only really fair vote Putin took part in was in 2000.. There is some hope in the US but it needs stronger people in civic society than they currently seem to have.
The fact we don’t already identify the 2024 election as putinesque is crazy. We’re not dumb enough to elect trump, but we are dumb enough to believe he won legitimately.
Enough. Now is the time for new ideas and people moving forward. Y’all keep rehashing the same ideas & people over and over and expect things to change. The opportunity will be there to turn the country around but not with the same thinking and policies. Where is Project 2028 from Dems?
Why would Obama want to torture himself to serve a country again that did everything possible to impede the good he was trying to do?!? We don’t deserve his help.
We don't need more neoliberalism, we need social democracy. Obama doesn't give a shit about us. If he did, people would have been bailed out in 2008 from the mortgage crisis, we would have single payer Healthcare, and roe v wade would have been codified.
Yes, the answer to trumps cult is for everyone to just worship Obama like their own cult savior, as long as it makes republicans and not to idk... work on actually moving forward or electing a dem that cares about more than making corporations money
We know it to be Trump. The "mess" he caused was largely due to the republican party refusing to vote on the majority of positive changes he wanted to make.
I did mean *Obama*. A terrific orator whom we all loved to take over after the (already) miserable Bush II years.
Unfortunately, he fell miserably short on his promises in real life. No, he could not. He and his "Harvard crowd" in his government alienated the common folks.
Let him enjoy retirement!
That's something I hadn't thought of. Or, hmmm, Secretary of State and he could repair our standing with our allies. But that might be a herculean task after Chief Cheeto's reign.
Here’s Dem’s leaders now! Old white man:Bernie, Female: AOC, Gay guy: Buttigieg. Love all but America will not vote for a woman, gay or another old man.
It's the Neoliberalism. Wtf do you think Chuck Schumer is? You think he just woke up and was like "I feel like betraying the entire working class for funsies today." NO he did what he did cause his rich Wallstreet donors wanted it that way and Neoliberals will always side with corporations.
Achincloss, Shapiro, Pritzker, Klobachar, Porter, Kelly, Ossoff, Warnock, Walz... We have a deep bench if we open our eyes a bit and give them the push they need to lead us out of this nightmare.
Obama’s reputation has been severely tarnished in my eyes. where has he been in the last few years? Where is his outrage over our present situation? Clinton and Biden are geriatrics. Bush is Bush. Obama has no excuse for remaining on the sidelines. He has become an enabler of our failing state.
Nah. Don’t we have enough exceptional people in the party, so we don’t have to keep recycling former presidents or their relatives?This third term thing needs to stop.
They not going to be able to Amend the language in the 22nd Amendment to include the words " Consecutive terms ". Hopefully trump's poor diet will hurry up and do it's job.
Yep. That is what these Freaks are going to try though. The only other person who would qualify, other than donald, is Grover Cleveland. Trust; if they dug him up, I would vote for him before donald.
The only way they can keep this Administration in power, is to declare Martial Law and cancel Elections. They could even try that. Keep your eyes open for the signs.
There is not going to be any 3rd term. Out of all of the things that is not going to happen, this is not going to happen the most. I can already see Jan 6, 2029 when Rabid MAGAS are looking for Vance, to try to stop the peaceful transfer or power.
Yeah everyone said he wouldn't win this time too.
Sorry but I don't believe in any predictions when it comes to trump and the GOP anymore they've shown they are willing to do anything and the courts let them.
There was a bill being floated to amend it and it has the 2 consecutive year piece to it, so it would only be for the FFOTUS. He was also talking about other work arounds in the media this past weekend.
Rules and laws are very different. Rules can be chaned easily. Laws must be approved by congress. Amending the constitution has a very high bar and would require support from Dems. A few dems arent very bright, but i dont think a single one of them would vote for lifting term limits.
Trump is trying to re-write the Constitution to serve another term..? Get Obama back in office in that case! Re elect decency, jail the current administration for Treason of the highest magnitude.
Trump is trying to put different election rules in place ahead of the 2028 presidential election. It's unbelievable how large his ball sac is, isn't it? The idiots around him are carrying for him in a wheelbarrow. Protesting nationwide,he's sure he'll make another term? Republicans=rigged elections!
💁🏾♀️ Steve Bannon is the spokesman for the Heritage Foundation, who is banking on Trump running for a third term. They're looking for a loophole in the constitution that will allow it. He's out sowing the demonic seeds for it as we speak.
The government will be dismantled way before that, unless we the people stop it from happening! We have to act now! We have to act fast! We are in crisis right now!
Even if he could, he's a bad choice. Obama passed a Republican healthcare plan and escalated the drone war. His failure to deliver on his promise of hope and change is part of why Trump was able to win.
We need a positive agenda for the future, and Obama never truly offered that.
With all due respect but it’s the bipartisan good faith approach , institutionalism and reaching across the isle that got us here.
You don’t reach across the isle to an alligator. Obama is too nice for what needs to be done.
I suspect the way it’ll be played is that the SCOTUS ruling effectively allowing Trump on ballets despite a judicial finding as an insurrectionist will be played to force his place on ballots despite having served 2 terms. Then Congress & VP will ignore the unconstitutional election as they did 14-3
I disagree.
It's a fine way to avoid a third Trump run, by stirring up Trump's fears of being humiliated .
It's very unlikely to me that President Obama wouldn't want to run again (understandably so) but yeah, this is definitely something that will get under Trump's skin when he hears about it.
I hear you.
But rn, is it drama to hold the view that being quiet and hoping the judiciary branch will come through in time hasn't been a thing that has worked out so far?
Maybe it's me.
I was born in France, and even though I am an American citizen now, protesting loudly is still my go-to. 🤷🏼♀️
IKR. It hurts that the best we can do to fight back is to bring up Obama again. My God. We really have no leaders. And you have a knew someone the way of the Joe Rogan podcaster. I did not see that coming
People focusing on a 3rd term for Obama is the wrong thing.Future elections are unlikely to be fair. Even though the results of the previous election were dubious in some states, the Democratic leaders showed no interest in looking into the matter. MAGA are skilled at cheating and know how to do it.
u do realize, if tRUMP does away with the 22nd amendment, there aren't going to be elections anymore. When people show you who they are, believe them. I have not really learned this lesson very well. We all had ample warning, if this country melts down tomorrow morning, we asked for it,(not me)
Let’s leave the Obamas alone. They have been beaten up enough and have given a lot to this country who spit on them electing this very old demented man fatass nazi and his regime.
If that orange dude gets kicked out before it's time, they can invoke a prior fit president, cause we all know that the vice isn't and or can't, and aint fit to serve as a president.
I wish we could do an emergency election. Have someone like Bernie or Pete Buttigieg or AOC or idk anyone with common sense who actually cares about the people and even the world. Someone who prioritizes their humanity over their income. Someone who not only talks the talk but also walks it.
I completely understand, by luck the orange guy or by putin will be poisoned or die from heart failure, then they would have a special election to wich i would want a.o.c. in that position, my personal preference lol
Oh to wish at the wishing well. We all know we’re not that lucky. These vile beings always have a longer shelf life than the average human being. They’ll rot but they’ll still survive like the plague they rot and fester yet they just don’t die off.

GeT READY to run Mr. PRESIDENT
Well, except for IKEA assembly manuals.😉
Reality went out the window last November.
I know you’re just trying to point out that he would be a better third term president than Trump but in reality, that’s just asking for the constitution to be further disrespected in a time when it gets no respect from the people who have taken an oath to protect it
Please don’t
President Obama a lot☺️🇺🇸
I would gladly vote for him a third time.
(Unless they’ve added a ‘whites only’ clause to this violation of the constitution.)
So which white man are we going to put on the ticket? I go for Tim Walz.
After 4 yrs I still dutifully voted for him but was a lot less enthusiastic
By the time he left he had fully evolved into a neolib, center right along with the rest of the *other* corp owned conservative party😞

Trump will choose the next president if the US doesn't get its act together soon
Will there even be an Election?
However with mass numbers it might be possible to overwhelm the vote.
I feel like the first couple of votes against Putin had a chance.
I think it will be very difficult to overcome a rigged count. My hope is that, as the process is controlled by states and not federal govt, that the process can be hardened and elections can be made secure in spite of Trump/Musk ..
See, now THAT makes me want to share it, just to get under the thin, orange skin of inmate po1135809.

🤕🤦🏽♂️
Barak Obama had his moment. His presidency is history.
More importantly, it’s time to move on from the past. The last thing America needs is another dynastic family to lead us.
The Democratic Party needs new blood. It needs a dynamic leader with fresh ideas that brings Americans together.
Who, d'you think, brought this mess upon us???
Correcting because it's admittedly misleading
Unfortunately, he fell miserably short on his promises in real life. No, he could not. He and his "Harvard crowd" in his government alienated the common folks.
Let him enjoy retirement!
Yeah, that's bullshit. Just stop.
Even if he did, what would him saying anything do
And consecutive doesn't matter. 2 is 2.
Sorry but I don't believe in any predictions when it comes to trump and the GOP anymore they've shown they are willing to do anything and the courts let them.
To serve more, the Constitution would have to be amended, or suspended. There are no provisions for suspending the Constitution.
All of us now
Trump and MAGA are direct reaction of Obama and if the 2016 and 2024 elections show, the 2008 Obama playbook is simply not working
Even if you want to use Lula's third term in Brazil, he barely won the runoff with 51%
We need a positive agenda for the future, and Obama never truly offered that.
This isn't a joke.
You don’t reach across the isle to an alligator. Obama is too nice for what needs to be done.

I just don't have that kind of hope in our elected officials anymore.

That is the loophole they will write into the... I hate to call it a law, couldn't be an EO, who knows?
If that orange dude gets kicked out before it's time, they can invoke a prior fit president, cause we all know that the vice isn't and or can't, and aint fit to serve as a president.
Think about it, if that orange asshole dies right now! Vance would be placed as, but won't sit out the full term!
Votes will have to be placed!
