Obama Campaigns Against Kari Lake and Warns About Threats to Democracy: A Closer Look

[@wpl8275]

If there is such a thing as a soul of a country, this one is close to losing it. When people laugh about an 82 year old man getting hit in the head with a hammer, they have no business claiming that they will make the country better or save it.

[@marvinmartin4692]

Exactly! republicans are totally sick!

[@ronnieka3309]

I agree the country is lost when people in charge try to exploit and misuse a terrible event like the P Pelosi attack for their political agenda

[@idriwzrd]

Even if it was consensual? I laugh at those who support sending tens of billions of their own money to prolong the suffering of a country destined to lose because their 'side' supports it.

[@reaganoc]

Simple, you don't want to send people to Kooky Kari because she is well spoken and crafty enough to control the narrative on the other side Hershel Walker is a total mess who is his own worst enemy. He is basically the best advert for Dems so you mention his name so people look him up and see the mess for themselves

[@aaronsondag8347]

So you like racists then huh good to know I need to stay away from you then.

[@Anonymous-pz6th]

At least Lake has the guts to come out in public and talk about issues instead of Hobbs hiding in the basement like Biden did while running for president. Seems thats one of the democrats strategies when they can’t talk about the issues because they aren’t smart enough to articulate their points.

[@meh2510]

@@Anonymous-pz6th Lake doesn't talk about the issues, she vomits propaganda and conspiracies. If she really wanted to have a discussion of why she should be in power and what she planned to do with it to help the American people, then she needs to stop regurgitating the same debunked BS that Trump demands her to do and instead speak her piece with truth and honesty. I mean, really, what have the republicans done to help the people these last few years? That alone should be enough to show they don't deserve to be in office.

[@matthewminelli]

@@Anonymous-pz6th oh, you mean hiding like when Adolf Trump hid in his bunker during a protest despite it not being at all necessary? And we were in the midst of a pandemic. Biden was being smart not to hold rallies that would spread Covid even faster than your incompetent leader already had been doing, fool.
