I can think of two possibilities, either they think don't get in the way when your enemy is making a mistake. If they can get to 2026, maybe it will be a democratic landslide. Or he knows where the bodies are buried for both sides, if there ever were two sides and they are terrified of getting exposed.
The wait and see strategy doesn't work and it won't work now.
Yeah the silence and not seeing ex living Presidents including Bush speak out on Trumps actions is bizarre to say the least.
People with the most capacity of reach dont use it.
Because it’s a game to them all. It’s rich vs poor and Trump’s bad decisions don’t hurt the rich so there’s zero urgency from people like Obama. They’ll still go on their private jet vacation next week regardless.
Dude, fuck off. This is an article about Obama, not Obama saying "hey look at me i joined it." In fact the first items were advocating for the ACA showing how it helped people. Trying to push people to stand up together for the common good.
Do you mean somthing like that when you say "Do something with your influence?"
That was a milquetoast message of hope at best, to the same level of thoughts and prayers.
Endorsing people actually on the ground trying to resist the Nazification of the US would already be a big step up instead of a Obama giving a medal to Obama level meme of self congratulatory pat on the back.
This is the first part of that. The top news media in cable tv, podcasting, and social media are all run as maga propaganda and I think that's a massively underrated reason for Trump's winning. The easiest of these to take down is social media, but it requires all the other news-related celebrities to go somewhere else.
Reddit and Lemme are right leaning?
I had no idea, does it seem that way on this post?

Man's allowed to retire like anyone else. Save the country yourself. When's the last time you went camping or shooting?
