Obama was one in a million. There will NEVER be another Obama, I know people who never voted a day in their lives making SURE they showed up to vote for Obama. Obama in 08 was damn near MLK levels for black folks and JFK levels for white folks. I don’t foresee ANY black politician being able to pull that off in my lifetime

You talking about the Bernie Sanders who could never win a nomination :pachaha:
That's my point, unless Democratic brass allows Bernie to win a nomination, a lot of young people will not vote.

Obama's success means the political savvy of black voters improved to change their level of expectation.

it was a necessary hurdle.

But it also makes the jobs of every other black politician way harder. Sometimes, unfairly.

She's going to lose to Kemp again.

But at least she got her flowers for her voter registration efforts that helped Biden win Georgia in 2020. What she did was incredible.
Do you still think she will lose against Kemp?

Uncertain grounds
Obama politics don't work anymore. Ask Kamala how they worked

I disagree with this characterization to an extent

Obama wasnt afraid to display his intelligence while relating to others with charm and some humor.

Kamala talks to people like they are idiots and doesnt come across as naturally entertaining.

Many politicians who are intelligent intentionally dumb themselves down in an effort to relate and it just leads to an aura of inauthenticity.

Obama didnt have that problem
