embarrassing :huhldup:

Democrats can be the party of "raise taxes for Medicare for all", or they can be the party of giving people probation for stealing 11 million from Medicaid.

they cannot be both :laff:

Nikkas on the sidelines always have a million things to say.

Nothing is stopping his terminally online azz from running for office :camby:
He won't because then he would have to start telling the truth about actual governance.

Edit:


“When I was president, people would ask me, ‘What changes would you like to see in Washington?’ I’d say, ‘I’d love a loyal opposition.’ I’d love a Republican party that was conservative in some ways — that didn’t agree with me on a whole bunch of stuff — but believed in the rule of law, and judicial independence, and … empirical evidence, science, and wasn’t constantly tapping into our worst impulses.”

Obama said there “has been a Republican party like that in the past” and thinks it would be wise for the GOP to embrace its less extreme roots because America needs “to have two healthy parties.”
This is tantamount to saying: "This country is safer with a conservative party that competes within democratic norms than with one built around grievance politics, conspiracy, reactionary politics, and institutional sabotage (election conspiracies, etc.).

That's not unreasonable. Hasan lives is a fantasy world. He gets off on the ideological performance. He's also soft-pedaling authoritarianism, which I guess makes sense given his CCP masturbating.

As for Democrats, Obama wasn’t exactly buying the idea there is some “so-called rift between the left and liberals.”

He noted that most Democrats, “independents and even some Republicans” share overlapping beliefs, like “equality, fairness;” that all Americans “should be able to make a living wage” and “be able to support a family and retire;” and that companies should not be allowed “to just run roughshod over the rights of workers.”

Democrat’s real problem, as Obama sees it, is their terrible communication style.

“What I’m more interested in Democrats is, do you know how to talk to regular people like we are not at a college seminar? Can you talk plain English to folks?”

Obama said the left should take notes from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who Obama called “an extraordinary talent,” thanks to his ability to pinpoint a specific issue and explain it in everyday language.

Colbert agreed.

“Not only does he talk like a normal person, but he lives a normal life,” Colbert said. “He names what is obviously wrong, and he goes, ‘We should change that thing.’”

“Yes!” Obama enthusiastically said, adding: “And not have a bunch of gobbledygook around it.”
