Yes. I understood it. He was saying that critiquing people helps the critic feel good but it doesn’t actually help any problem you may want to get solved.

IMHO, people on the right and in the middle do that too— make comments that justify themselves, and stop there, without following it up by doing something constructive.

...that simply judging people and "casting stones" does not equate to activism... "The world is messy," he continued. "There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids. And you know, share certain things with you. And I think that one danger that I see amongst young people...and this is accelerated by social media, there is this sense sometimes of, 'the way of making change, is to be as judgmental as possible about other people.'"
IOW, the dragnet is about to close and arrests and indictments are coming for him, his "wife", Hillary, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, Mueller -- and we all need to realize they are just imperfect and deserve to be let off scot-free. Thanks Kaslin.

“If all you’re doing is casting stones, you’re probably not going to get very far.”

His puppetmasters have realized the American people are sick of being pelted with stones.

Constant castigation is not a winning strategy.

His handlers realize the weakening support for the extreme Leftism.

Yep. Too far too fast.

The Rats do this every election, they try to run to the center, but as time goes on, it is getting harder and harder to pull off.

Probably to salvage what’s left of the demonicrat party and get some commie elected to finish off the country. Or being the narcissistic he is he may be trying to salvage a molecule of his credibility.

And did anyone understand that gibberish? Is the man incapable of speaking plain old English?????? I have no idea what he was trying to say...


My translation: Stop being so aggressive and scaring soccer moms with rioting mobs wearing masks.

Obama sounds almost moderate compared with the “woke” Democrat voters. I guess from someone on the left who is intelligent, all of this “wokeness” where people are obsessed with how you use pronouns must seem counterproductive to the larger cause and a waste of energy.

pfft. Obama and complicit media/leftists created these “woke” monsters. They are imploding, and those with sanity will clear their wreckage and them.

Or nominated for the USSC by the next Democrat president or this Republican one. Remember that old adage:

"Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer".
