I sort of wish Obama had more influence. He tried to tell Biden not to run in 2020, which definately would’ve been a better outcome even if the Dems coalesced around a different centrist.
He asked Biden not to run in 2016, and he didn’t, then urged donors to support Hilary over Bernie. In 2020 he asked other candidates to drop out so Biden could run, and they did. I’d argue he has that influence you’re longing for and it hasn’t been that positive.
Yeah, they were never going to let that happen. They’d preferred Trump over Bernie. Would’ve been hilarious to see Chris Matthews freak out even more about Bernie death squads rounding people up and executing them though.
The problem WAS that people preferred Bernie, same as every other populist candidate. The last ones that won resulted in a Term limit and an assassination respectively.
Lol. So they think that former president Obama is running the Democrats, just like former president trump is running the Republicans

Biden was being pushed by a lot of insiders to run in 2016. He didn’t because Beau had recently died of cancer.
Unlike Hunter, Beau wasn’t a fuckup. He was the one who was supposed to be going places.
Biden running in 2020 was good. Would’ve been even better had he stuck to his word and not ran again this time
Or, you know, just let Burnie have his fucking chance.
So you’re saying it’s his turn

Sad because the people obviously preferred Bernie over Trump.

Teddy wasn’t assassinated, he specifically made a point of mocking the attempted assassin and finishing his speech before accepting medical attention.
Kennedy
I’d call it projection if it wasn’t so braindead.
I want to live in the America the right-wing think exists.
A place where Christians are persecuted and WOKE runs everything? Yeah, that sounds pretty good!
