"There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party - namely Barack Hussein Obama - that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone 'better.' Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds," the statement said.
This is a statement from a presidential campaign.
The quote should be put with spoiler tags and a surgeon general's warning that reading the contents has been shown to lower your IQ by at least four percentage points, and prolonged exposure to even seeing the words on the screen could cause permanent brain damage.
It's okay I already have permanent brain damage, I can translate for everyone.
It says,
Donald Trump is tired of changing his pants every time someone mentions debating Harris, so we respectfully decline.
Thank you,
Your future inmate president.
Implying Trump changes when he shits himself is far too generous. People literally say he smells of shit.
This quote goes in the square hole.
Little late now, now all I want is a truck at 37%, Trump president and strangely threatened by accomplished women.
Yeah it says "remember that old racist dog whistle we used to use with the previous minority president? Let's try that again, but throw in a little McCarthyism."
am I reading this right? Republicans are saying that Obama thinks Kamala Harris is too Marxist to beat Trump?
what, and I cannot stress this enough:
What if she started roasting things. Completely breaking down the things they say in front of a whiteboard. I want that to be her entire campaign just... Letting them talk and then talk about it
I get the strategic value, but I'd rather she run on actual policies that help people.
Because what it says literally doesn't matter, it's just a perfectly crafted stew of buzzwords to stroke the right. We have to stop reading this shit as normal language and start understanding the code they use. It's just about saying Obama, in their eyes an evil black muslim terrorist (hence HUSSEIN), still holds sway over the democrats, meaning the institution as a whole is infected with his evil muslim blackness, and is acknowledging Marxism, the big bad enemy of good Christian values, in a way that simultaneously aligns it with party ideology AND presents Kamala as an even-greater looming threat. This isn't nonsense word salad, it's meticulously crafted fearmongering to the ignorant party base whose lack of literacy they have cultivated by design.
Their campaign is literally saying shit that I would normally expect to hear from the mouths of 3rd world dictators. The GOP is now conspiracy theory bullshit from stem to stern.
It’s wild how frequently they just… make shit up and say it like it’s factual.
Yeah I was just trying to imagine living that way, so bizarre... Nothing is concrete and reality can be anything.
Well, not anything... Only the things that the fake billionaire reality TV personality (who was unironically the basis for every movie and cartoon villain throughout the 90s), tells me. Because that's a totally rational way to behave.
Barack Hussein Obama
Gotta get his middle name in there
Without birtherism Trump never runs in 2016.
Without Obama making fun of him at a correspondents dinner...
That was the White House correspondents dinner with the most influence on history of all time
I said this in deeper reply, but I think it bears repeating, so I'm quoting myself here:

They love to see shit like this because when they see those (fucking stupid) terms used, they get to feel like they have some kind of secret, inside knowledge. For a brief moment, they get to forget that they've alienated all of their friends and their entire family over this, and get to feel like they're part of something.
But only for a brief moment... As a single tear drops into his Healthy Choice frozen microwave dinner and he turns on Duck Dynasty.
Wow, yep, that one is new to me; thank you for educating me!. God these people and their doublespeak are exhausting.
It's not for us. It's for his minions. Part of the conservative bubble.
It's not even a good excuse because even if they did change their minds, he could still attempt to debate whoever it is on the scheduled date.
Obama's forthcoming speech endorsing Harris will be worth watching I think
I hope there's a forthcoming lawsuit against the Trump campaign, because I am very, very sure that Obama is not on record publicly nor privately saying Kamala Harris is a "Marxist fraud."
Obama will take the high road. A lawsuit would just make him martyr and give some semblance of evidence to the radical left trying to silence him and his right to free speech like the gag order. Obama really has nothing to gain but a lot to lose. He's more coy than that based on his prior actions. I suspect that he'll sit on that for awhile, give it its time in the media to get as widespread attention as it can, then release a statement enthusiastically endorsing her while citing her policy and character.
Yeah yeah sorry! I know I tried to search for logic in a statement from that guy..!
Ha ha "many" followed by one guy.
I'm sorry what?
This just feels like a shitpost
In the strictest technical sense.

Interesting that they are still today apparently served by mentioning Obama’s middle name.
Whenever I see Obama referred to by his full name, I instantly know that the author is pushing manipulative islamaphobic dog-whistle propaganda and everything else by such authors automatically has zero credibility, lacks substance, and the drivel is a waste of time to finish reading. I wonder if that manipulation attempt is still largely unknown, or if the rt-wing nut jobs are really just out of touch with the pursuadables they are trying to reach and thus shooting themselves in the foot.
Trumpism at its “finest”. Still, Obama’s call for an open convention does open exactly this kind of attack. I’ve certainly BIPOC talk about it as a typically “not really culturally BIPOC” move from Obama that betrays his predominantly white cultural upbringing. Sometimes unity is better than whatever else you have in mind.
... Did you just suggest that Obama isn't "black enough?"
So, what you’d say if I’m literally just echoing what I’ve seen other BIPOC people say?
I’d say the same thing to them.
He's half African and was raised by his white mother and grandparents. He's not really culturally ADOS (African descendant of slaves).
^ ^ How to say you're racist without actually using the word racist.
I mean it’s very dangerous and touchy for white people, like myself, to weigh in on topics like these for sure.
I was just sharing what I’d heard from other BIPOC on what seemed a meaningful point … that, apparently, someone more in tune with slavery descendant culture would have gotten behind a woman of colour in a heart beat.
FWIW, as a white person, that makes total sense, and I’m not sure to whom it wouldn’t make sense and be the obvious move. And yet Obama seems to have been the one person out of step. Dunno how else to think about it.
As for racism, as see the point as only highlighting that such a culturally white person was likely always going to be the first black US president.
Reporting has been he will endorse her relatively soon, now that it's clear she has the votes to win.
Oh I’m sure. Still seems like he missed the cue that everyone else hit on time.
He might have been saving it for a boost later, maybe at the convention, but this idiotic shit forced his hand. He and Michelle endorsed today.
He might have been saving it for a boost later
Yea and the support for an open convention may have just been rumour. Or at least a hand wavy stance from a couple of weeks ago.

I made a similar comment above.
You missed the attempt at a subtle dig at the Democratic party by calling them "the Democrat party" (https://www.factcheck.org/2007/12/the-democratic-or-democrat-party/ )

He did already endorse her but I haven't read his statement. I see your point overall though. https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/26/politics/barack-michelle-obama-kamala-harris-endorsement/index.html
"there are many" - continues to name one.
