Cool. Who was his VP again, the one who he never spoke out against when he was running for president, the one who kept going on until the democrats were doomed?

They definitely still won’t listen to Obama

That means the old folks need to support those ideas with votes and campaign money, too.

He’s not wrong. The Dems tried to coronate Clinton in 2008. He won. The dems tried to insist only Clinton could beat Trump in 2016. Trump won. Then they tried to insist only Biden could beat Trump With the help of the pandemic they won! Then they decided Biden should choose his own replacement and Trump won again.
tl;dr Obama has actually won, and when he wasn’t supposed to. The dem establishment can’t pick them.

Hell, I’m not even 50 yet and I already feel like the world has passed me by. There’s no way these fucking 60, 70, 80 year-old politicians have a firm grasp on reality.

This is good. Recent people such as mamdani, talarico, and now kasky (and aoc I guess?) are giving a new hope from the party. I see hope gang 🥹

Bad idea from Obama.
Has he *heard* what so many of the young activists want? No prisons, murderers get released on their own recognizance, all those horrible crimes none of us wants to be a victim of they want to put perpetrators back on the streets.
They support Hamas.
They support money giveaways that will collapse our economy.
So when Obama says “get out of the way,” it isn’t happening for a good reason.

The average age of the founding fathers in 1776 was 43.95 , the median age was 44.5

What happened to democracy and 1 vote is 1 vote? Why is a younger persons vote perceived as worth more? Funny how Dems can criticize democracy without being labeled anti-democratic. Telling anyone to not participate especially because of age is just so hypocritically shitty. If people wanted younger folks in power they’d vote that way….or young people could increase their voting participation.
Its not going to get any better with demographic collapse. Get used to the gerontacracy. Old people will be outnumbering young for the foreseeable future in most countries.

Not just the old people. People like Jeffries as well. Maybe he should have said “establishment people get out of the way”. That would be better.

How about pushing for proportional representation voting to solve most problems in american politics?
