Obama's comments appear in a new video supporting Gavin Newsom's Proposition 50 which would allow the California legislature to draw new congressional boundaries ahead of the midterms
Barack Obama has entered the political fray ahead of November's special election in California, accusing Republicans of attempting to "rig the next election" in a new ad backing Governor Gavin Newsom's Proposition 50, a ballot measure that could reshape the state's congressional map.
"Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years," Obama says in the 30-second ad, urging voters to approve the proposal. "You can stop Republicans in their tracks."
She wasn’t portrayed that way at all, you understand that right?
Everybody knows that those on the far-right drip are trained to think everybody to the left of them (even a little bit) is a radical.
Liberal mainstream media did not portray her that way at all.
even a shitload of “centrists” (quotes because most have been captured by the magats without being aware) think she was radical.
You're likely referring to old-school Republicans/conservatives, and they either didn't vote (because they are disenfranchised) or voted Trump, yes. Some may have voted Kamala, but not as much as she might have hoped (given her strategy to shift right).
A significant amount of people don't vote in this country and the Democrats aren't interested in capturing that demographic, nor are they interested in capturing progressive or leftist voters.
...and because they aren't trying to appeal to anyone besides people who absolutely cannot abide by Trump, they lost and will likely continue to lose in the big elections if they don't run on something to attract voters.
E.g. Bernie.
Who never got a chance in a general election because he got ratfucked 2x in a row by the Democratic Party et. al.
The most milquetoast “radical” tested
Bernie is the lesser evil here - he's milquetoast, but not as milquetoast as e.g. Kamala, Biden, and Obama are to their corporate donors.
Bernie was a good sport, but he has principles he stands by and that's more than those folks could say now.
