Obama to Democrats: ‘Sulking and moping is not an option’

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Democratic Party’s most prominent figures warned that abortion, Social Security and democracy itself are at risk as they labored to overcome fierce political headwinds — and an ill-timed misstep from President Joe Biden — over the final weekend of the 2022 midterm elections.

“Sulking and moping is not an option,” former President Barack Obama told several hundred voters on a blustery day in Pittsburgh.

“On Tuesday, let’s make sure our country doesn’t get set back 50 years,” Obama said. “The only way to save democracy is if we, together, fight for it.”

Obama acknowledged that voters are anxious after suffering through “some tough times” in recent years, citing the pandemic, rising crime and surging inflation.

“The Republicans like to talk about it, but what’s their answer, what’s their economic policy?” Obama asked. “They want to gut Social Security. They want to gut Medicare. They want to give rich folks and big corporations more tax cuts.”

Obama and Fetterman hugged on stage after the speeches were over.

Back 50 years? No, I'm aiming for 42 years where a hyperinflationary fool of a president opened the way for Reagan. If only we could get Russia to start acting aggressively again and threatening us with nuclear destruction we could get the full 1980s feeling back.

“Sulking and moping is not an option,” former President Barack Obama told several hundred voters on a blustery day in Pittsburgh.

"Suicide, that's the answer," he continued.

We don’t want to go back to the mid 70’s, gas lines and high interest! That’s where we’re headed with Dems

We would be better off to go back to the 50’s.

“Obama told several hundred voters”

The messiah can’t turn them out anymore.

All lies but AP prints it as fact without question.

It’s “painless, and it brings on many changes.”

All of them good for our country.

I wish someone would explain, how “democracy itself” is on the ballot.

They equate voting for Republican candidates as somehow destroying democracy. They equate voting for Democrats as saving democracy. Yet in our constitutional republic, we have choices about candidates and political parties to support. And we have the secret ballot, so we can make those choices without coercion, in private.

How can they be intellectually honest, and imply that you must vote Democrat, in order to “save democracy”? How can a free choice for another party somehow undermine our elections???

Suicide Is Painless - Democrat Part Anthem

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see

That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The game of life is hard to play
I’m gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

Suicide is painless
(Suicide)
It brings on many changes
(Changes)
And I can take or leave it if I please

After Obama's his pathetic appearance on Pittsburgh I hope he knows his Shucking and jivin is not an option either.
