Obama: Democrats are having a ‘circular firing squad’ over ‘purity’

Former President Barack Obama on Saturday chided fellow Democrats for creating a “circular firing squad” that targets party members who don’t support far-left views.
“The way we structure democracy requires you to take into account people who don’t agree with you,” he said at an Obama Foundation town hall event in Berlin, Germany. “And that by definition means you’re not going to get 100 percent of what you want.
“One of the things I do worry about sometimes among progressives,” he continued, “we start sometimes creating what’s called a ‘circular firing squad’ where you start shooting at your allies because one of them has strayed from purity on the issues.”
Seventeen Democrats have announced they are running for the party’s presidential nomination in 2020, and more are expected to enter the race. Legislative proposals from the pack include free college tuition, government-run health care and reparations for slavery and segregation.
Obama also warned the town hall audience of 300 against nationalism and the “bloodshed” that can follow.
“Nationalism, particularly from the far right, has re-emerged,” he said. “And we know where that leads. Europe knows better than anyone where that leads.”

Well if Obama would have decided to be the first open bisexual President, they’d not be having this problem. Also, he should have done coke while in office, who knows, he may have performed instead of failed.

Where? Canada? :)
what a dope
If only it were really true.
And Obama is the pivot man who let it all happen.
Obunghole comparing American states to European nations.
NWO can’t come fast enough for him.
Shades of Oedipus. “Who destroyed this city?”
This is more like Democrats sticking needles and knives into each other.
Everybody's still around, but what kind of condition will they be in after a few months?
Oh he’s back to playing the outsider again.
It’s not a “circular firing squad”, it’s a “Circle Jerk”. They do whatever feels good at the moment. They don’t care how embarrassing, annoying, loathsome or nasty it is. That’s all I’ll say about it
Effort by the left to equate patriotism with Nazism.
The Revolution always consumes itself, Barry Girl, and it’s always over purity.
Yes, only the New World Order and Globalism can save us now, right, Mr. “I am a citizen of the world”?
obama was a 2 termer...2 terms.
Some no name radical Marxist became president..TWICE...
in America?
Duplicious, as usual.
He’s just telling them to keep it to themselves until AFTER they are elected. Never let the cat out of the bag too early.
“town hall audience of 300” - Wow. Not impressive at all...
This from the muzzie who invited the other nutty muzzies to a fly fest last week....
.
Circle jerk. That’s what they have
