“The short-term strategy is, win the House of Representatives,” stated the former president, garnering applause. “Because that’s going to be the circuit breaker that will give us control of one major component of the federal government. With that as a bulwark, we’re now able to block some of the worst impulses that are coming out of this White House.”
The former president laid out a two-pronged strategy for Democrats: to reclaim a House majority next year, and to work on honing the party’s messaging in the coming years.
“Long term, let’s tell a story, a better story about who we are as Americans and what we share,” Obama said, according to excerpts shared with CBS News. “We have to tell the story that makes people who feel outside that process, we’ve got to bring them back in.”
And the comments here illustrate exactly why it’ll never work.
The far left seems to be totally fine with status quo while they arrogantly wait for their perfect candidate to white-knight themselves into our political system.
It must be nice to be entitled to such an extent so as to risk other people’s lives and freedoms while they hold out for Mr/Mrs. Perfect.
News flash: Politics isn’t defined as issuing the most perfect policy. It never was! It’s about making the best compromises you can. It’s about making difficult decisions, but the best ones you can given the options you have.
You people make up this perfect world where everything should be so easy with ZERO understanding of how it works. And when those things don’t happen- you throw a shit-fit online to complete strangers and fold your arms, refusing to stand on the line drawn against fascism- all while complaining about how much fascism sucks.
Hate to break it to you- but you don’t fight against those that work forces with funny memes.
