The DNC is fucked because they've learned absolutely nothing since 2016. They've pushed progressives to the center or out of the way to the extent that they cannot create an appealing candidate. They are still banking on "They're Not Trump" being a winning strategy and they're hoping they can do bupkis for the struggling masses and get away with it.
Obama 2028 is a sad message. It says "Remember when people liked us? Can we just go back to that, please? No change on my end, just uh like us again, please?"
I think the Obama 2028 is intended to anger people on the right, since neither Obama nor Trump are legally allowed to run for a third time.
Ignoring the “unironically” in the title… which is confused.
It’s intended to be ironic, not “can we go back to when people liked us,” but as a response to Trump 2028 hats mentioned in the image.
It’s stupid either way, but how far down the confused rabbit hole can they go, honestly? No one is going to unironically wear an Obama 2028 hat.
Uh... if you like your bank bailouts, you can keep them.
Bank bailouts are American while helping citizens is not 😭
Look at Newsom’s current voter outreach. A number of Dems are openly trying to outflank the fascists on their right. All they care about is getting those Silicon Valley mega donations.
