Obama was a unique situation in that he was both an incredibly charismatic JFK-style figure and ran after the Republicans had managed to both start a very unpopular war and destroy the world economy.
Barack Obama also never released a campaign ad that said "Hey white dudes, we only think some of you suck."
You mind linking me to that ad?

Idk, as a white guy, that's more cringe than offensive. Maybe that's because I live in the South and can pass for a redneck, but I hear some vile shit from those other white guys fairly often.
Offensive isn't quite the word for it.
The part that bothers me is that the DNC couldn't put together genuine sounding messaging to men when American democracy itself hung in the balance. Dooming my nation because they absolutely couldn't bring themselves to drop the identity politics is a transgression I don't think I can ever forgive.
"hey white dudes! .....no not you...the other white dudes."
Don't like those ads? Should've stopped proving them right. We will go to the grave blaming you and your ilk now
Weird hill to die on
Those nakedly misandrist ads were brought to my attention after I cast my ballot.
I've never voted for a Republican in my life, but the Democrats will have to actually earn my vote if they ever run a candidate again, they may no longer expect me.
Blame me as much as you want, you're going to anyway. I'm the bad guy even when voting your way so what'sthe point? Those who cannot bring themselves to speak to me with respect to literally save their lives can die as mad as they want.
I take it you dont much care WHY misandey is on the rise
Not even a little.
