Never heard of this Obama guy - I wonder if he knows any people with more political capital than the combined general populace - that’d probably be a big efficiency booster

I'm laughing at myself. Obama is out of power and he's always been a turd so that's nothing new or surprising. Yet I still ~~had~~ have an urge to fedpost. I guess I hate him so much because he's the walking, talking, lecturing embodiment of the democrats and of neoliberalism.
I’m glad my first voting experience could have such milquetoast results lol. Fool me once and so on and so forth 
In the first election I voted in these results were so ugly and so crushing all I could do was laugh.
Mondale!!!! 😂
Only laughing because he’s a meme imo. God I despise Reagan so much.
At the time - I took it in stride. You win some - you lose some. Reagan was dogshit but it's hilarious how awful American presidents have been my entire life. Yet democrats are still always sharing infographics about how great the economy was under Clinton, Obama, and Biden as they cheerlead for Team Democrat. There's zero consideration that people aren't the economy. And when people are desperate and feel hopeless - they'll believe the biggest liars in the world. Dems have to maintain this fiction that somehow Trump appeared out nowhere and became a political juggernaut.
What else can you expect from an election held in 
?
I'm assuming if any jokes were made at the time in reference to the book named for that year, they were jokes about how well we avoided Orwell's dystopia since the great freedom-loving anticommunist epitome Ronnie Reagan was presiding over freedom-land?
Although mobilizing people around an activist message and failing to follow through (or being an opportunist) would probably have significant harmful repercussions in terms of said populaces cynicism and disengagement - so this Obama fella might want to be sure he means what he says! Hope he gets a chance to meet with a president or senator some day so he can get this message out
Oh SHIT! Just looked him up - HUGE mistake!
woah, blusky libs getting catty at Obama
I don't know how long it's been happening. I assume months. Bluesky libs started seriously shitting on his posts. Not like us but in their lib way.
they don't want to see Mr. Obama's spotify rewind?? 
When Obama puts out lists - I always wonder how much is true and how much is spin where they put the "right" stuff on the list so it gets more likes and engagement.
It's Obama
He probably actually listens to it to drive engagement and get attention and for no other reasons
This is the guy who essentially confessed he read theory in college to try and get laid in his biography
shame the theory didn't take
Yeah c'mon dude where are the Bandcamp screamo bands with 5 followers?
He doesn't fucking do anything lol, i'm not surprised
Probably after the ketchup take. That was the line the libs just couldn't follow beyond.

Ezra Klien can fuck right off. Do-Nothing Democrats suck ass
Obama, you're fucking responsible for whats happening rn! Ice was a nothing burger agency until obama expanded it nation wide! Obama also gave you indefinite dention, concentration camps, family separation! Obama and biden walked so trump could run. Obama likes whats happening rn as much as any dem/republican.
"All of us" doesn't include him going to a march though.
He is a bit to busy bulldozing public space to build his ~~imperial fortress~~ presidential library
you first Barack
Uhh, let me be clear. If you like your ICE brutality, you can keep it
reveals where deportation agenda is going
The revelation? Where it is currently happening every single day. Nailed it again, Ezra.
There should be abundant ICE agents!
We need to cut the red tape that is restricting the number of ICE agents. If we have way more, then the most effective ones will be sought after by consumers and the worse ones will leave the field!
Finally, someone with some common sense!
is that genuinely what abundance is? that's just milton friedman. they keep coming up with new guys who are just milton friedman. even milton friedman was just a new hayek
Basically, yeah.
Oh god, did anyone listen to it? I kind of want to know what Klein's take is but I kind of don't. Ezra Klein is like if comedy is supposed to make you furious.

I never quite thought of Klein and his ilk that way but it's it. One day his producer filled in for him and the strangest thing was - and I'm not making this up - he sounded exactly the same. I don't just mean in his phraseology. I mean his tone of voice too.
I kind of want to know what Klein's take is but I kind of don't.
NYT might have a transcript. To begin with - you could o a ctrl-f to see how many times he plugs "abundance".
I don't need to listen to it, I already know he'll have nothing of value to say
Ah, but have you factored into the podcast value function how much I hate myself?
Self-Harm describes about a quarter of my media diet.
Walk around and blow out your rage with a wistle. Then 
to not revoke the laws and authority that allows such a thing as ICE.
