    Lol. So they think that former president Obama is running the Democrats, just like former president trump is running the Republicans

      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.

          Biden running in 2020 was good. Would’ve been even better had he stuck to his word and not ran again this time

          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.

        A place where Christians are persecuted and WOKE runs everything? Yeah, that sounds pretty good!
