Barack The Establishment Stooge? Far Left Breaks with Obama Over #TooFarLeft

Obama Middle Finger

If she was all they had, Democrats would vote for Hillary Clinton even though she’s (in their mind) a moderate stooge who sold out. Barack Obama, by far the farthest left of any president is now a stooge as well, after suggesting you win elections by not being #TooFarLeft.

First, for context, read Chris Maidment’s piece from yesterday. “President Obama was smart enough to move Overton’s window incrementally, instead of in giant fell swoops. He knew, and knows, that the populace isn’t on board with crazy swings in our culture and our policy. Obama didn’t want the party to go #TooFarLeft too fast.”

Looking back, Obama seemed very far-left to me even in his so-called incrementalism. So far that the TEA party arose and wiped out his two-chamber majorities in Congress which have yet to recover after four elections, one of which he won.

In hindsight, it looks like incrementalism to Obama and us. Looking at what we have standing before us now, a stampede of far-left policies promoted to attract the Democrats far-left base, and Obama is right to feel concern. Chris nails it when he says, “The Dems are out ahead of their skis. The voters won’t have any of that it in a matchup against Trump.”

The Democrats running for the role of standard-bearer are not hiding any secret ingredients. They appear to have given away the secret sauce. And it’s a concern. To paraphrase one of the harpies on the view, I wouldn’t tell them I’m taking their guns I’d lie and then take them after the election. That was Obama’s incrementalism.

So, Barry-O is just trying to find a polite way to say ‘come at them in slinky lingerie’ instead of going nude. Leave something to the imagination. They’re still going to vote for you.

And he’s getting pilloried for that.

Saying “Americans are moderate than these wild leftists” is basically conceding that the far right propaganda machine has prevailed.

Because what the Too Far Left™ movement wants is fairness and equality. Health care, education, dignity for ALL people, not just oligarchs…

If you were not sure just how #TooFarLeft the ‘too-far-left’ have gone, they are throwing Obama under the hopey-changey bus. Insiders, staffers, entertainers, the primary voters drooling over the hotness of socialism delivered. The people who are making Joe Biden look good to the rest of their party.

And that’s a problem. Obama knows it. The Democrat field, instead of fighting to be in the moderate lane where they’ll get the most general election voters, has decided they are all outsiders and on the extreme left to win primary voters. 

And while it is expected to see candidates lean into their base a bit for the nomination then lean back the other way, this lot didn’t lean they leaped leftward. So much so that Obama is now a moderate stooge of the establishment insider class. He’s dangerously close to advocating for bigots, racists, and white supremacists.

This is good and bad. Good, because it improves Trump’s odds of a 2020 victory. Bad because as I have so often warned, the new Democrat party is a truly socialist party. It says it will demand “fairness and equality, Health care, education, dignity for ALL people, not just oligarchs.” But that’s the new lingerie: The Hidden ingredient, that secret sauce. The promise is the tease of things to gain power. But to deliver on those promises they’ll need a police state.

They will become ‘Just’ Oligarchs. They have no choice. But if America senses the danger #TooFarleft could destroy the Democrat party. Obama sees it and for once in his life may actually care.
