I gave you the short, definitive statement on the matter

You gave a short, misleading statement on the matter.

He also called Sweden's epidemiologist's apologetics definitive.
Entirely possible kiid doesn't know what definitive means.

The Right just seems to be all about propaganda and being stubbornly argumentative, delaying, obfuscating, and pretending their are no objective facts.
Rather creepy.

Obama is a private citizen with full political rights (except running for president again).  if he sees the country taking a dangerous turn, or a tremendously unqualified leader directing us towards doom, he should speak up.

The GOP doesn't play paddy-cake.  They stole a Supreme Court seat form Obama and the Dems.  They intentionally rack up deficits on tax cuts for the rich so there's no money to help average folks.  Then they use racism to prevent class solidarity and keep poor white folk from voting for their economic interests.

The Desm should do what they legally can to keep these anti-gov't jackals away form gov't power.  And if that means an ex-Pres campaigning for his former Veep, well, your delicate sensibilities will just have to be crushed.

Gore blew it by not embracing Clinton and talking up Clinton achievements, and trotting out Bill once or twice.  Hopefully Bidne wont make the same mistake.  Compared to Trump, Obama looks like George Washington crossed with Martin Luther King.  Use it. 

At least Biden kept mentioning O during the Dem primary.  Keep it up.  Bring Michelle in at a strategic point.  And then save Obama for a key moment.  As the GOP has made abundantly clear.  Winning is everything extremely important.  And elections have consequences.

Elections Have Consequences should be Biden's campaign motto.
And show commercials of Trump saying the virus will just fade away like a miracle in April and other inane downplaying bullshit, with clips of ambulances and full PPE medical workers, and numbers of infected and dead.
Screen goes black and at the end :
ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
Vote Biden / Harris.

He needs to talk about Trump constantly.

all he NEEDS to do is to stay black and die.
Fine.  He doesn't have to say  word.

No. He doesn’t Have to or need to. We’d like him to. We want him to but we can’t demand it from him.

Former presidents should refrain from critiquing current/ future admins.  Just the way it has always been - out of respect for the office.

Trump has been telling provable lies about the past administration on an almost daily basis for the past 3.5 years.

Former President Barack Obama on Friday said that the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has been an “absolute chaotic disaster” and blamed it on a “selfish” and “tribal” mindset that has become operationalized in government.

“This election that’s coming up on every level is so important because what we’re going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party. What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life"




knew he couldn't stay presidential

BTW, this was said on a private phone call.
