    Guess what?

    AOC or Omar wouldn’t do it either.

    If they do it, the GOP will just point out that Obama did the same thing and we get caught up in a big fight that the GOP will win on points.

    Yes, the system is shitty. It’s the one we have, so it’s a good idea to learn how it works.

        If you’re going to put words in my mouth, please order some chips and salsa.

        If you just want to live in a fantasy world where Progressives control the government, go ahead, but leave me out of your private wonderland.

        If you want to talk actual strategy and tactics, I’m here.

          My point is: Anyone who’s going to enter the “Obama is a war criminal” fight on the side of Obama can fuck off. Besides being morally reprehensible, those people are a liability anyway. These are your Schumers and Hillaries, and their inclusion does nothing but hold back progress.

            By that logic we should throw Mamdani out because he didn’t strangle Trump in the Oval Office. Instead, he did the smart thing and acted like a gentleman. Also, Mamdani got a little over 50% of the vote running against a molester and an idiot.

            And the millions of voters who’d happily give Obama a third term are a ‘hindrance?’

            You live in a fantasy world where there are millions and millions of Progressive voters who have sat out every single primary and general election waiting for the perfect candidate to appear.
