“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser

    He did run on “change”. What’s your point? Mindless centrism is realistic? Mine is Obama didn’t get much done, his greatest legacy is the ACA and that is being undone as we speak because of his failures elsewhere.

    Runs a parallel to Biden doing alright generally but completely failing on Merrick Garland negating everything else he did.

      Unfortunately kinda yes. Ever had to make choices for a lot of people?? Usually the middle ground is where you’ll land.

      Honestly I don’t agree at all. I think Obama’s greatest criticism is how he handled Russia/Georgia. But again that’s a tough call, you gonna drag America into a second theater of war when everyone is already mad about the first one and calling you a warmonger for literally no reason.

      I just don’t think he’s made such awful decisions as you all are pushing.
