Former President Barack Obama on Friday warned Democratic primary candidates to avoid leaning too far left in their campaigns, and raised concerns that certain liberal policy proposals on health care and immigration might have gone further than public opinion.
In an unusual address to a room of wealthy Democratic donors, Obama urged Democratic candidates to be pragmatic in their messages to voters. While he didn’t mention any specific presidential primary candidate or proposal, Obama warned that the average American voter does not align with views from “certain left-leaning Twitter feeds or the activist wing of our party.”
Obama said that his concerns aren’t a criticism of party activists, whose job he said is to “poke and prod and text and inspire and motivate.” But he emphasized that whoever the candidate is, their ultimate job is to get elected.
“Even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision we also have to be rooted in reality,” Obama said. “The average American doesn’t think we have to completely tear down the system and remake it.”

cant use the hegelian dialectic if the antithesis is too insane.
Light years too far.
He cares about Dems being too honest and forthright about their leftwing intentions, not that they might BE too left wing.
The leftists have go so far off into lala land that they’re making Obama seem moderate.
Yes. They’re way to the left of Barack Obama, on guns, on immigration, etc. If Obama was running for President for the first time in 2020, he’d be too right-wing for the “base” of today’s national Democratic primary electorate.
Very ironic since 8 years ago, he convinced everyone to Hope and Change...
The democrats have exposed their true intent they hid for 60 years communism.
The most evil administration in the history of this glorious republic. Clinton, Obams, Biden. et al.
