Barack Obama is a sacred cow to the majority of African Americans. Criticizing him (or Oprah or Beyonce) for almost anything comes w/ guaranteed blowback. It’s not generally advisable politically. I believe in the substance of Bernie’s criticism of the Democratic Party though.

It's not his place to carry the party. He was the President for all. He could have done more but so could every president.

The party carried him through the elections and he left them bankrupt. He campaigned on a progressive message for all working people and then turned his back on all of them.

First great first name. But how did the party carry him? They saw their opportunity to show that they are different bc they had a strong black candidate with an exotic name. Let's not pretend about their motives. They wanted a minority narrative to drive up votes

Obama was definitely asleep at the wheel when it came to dealing with Israel. Abandoned and betrayed Palestinians.

Put the partisan politics to rest. There are certain issues that I refuse to yield on, but we have to have a conversation with the opposing sides and being more reflective.

Dude you're no different than those whiny purist White leftists who diss O. a) When did Obama become head of the DNC? b) O was busy doing his job and accomplishing great things while your old boy Bernie was busy talking and criticizing O while accomplishing nothing.

The party fell asleep at the wheel, especially at the local level. I totally agree the Democratic Party needs major overhauling. However, I see the beginnings of a rebirth starting to form.

Yes!!! Obama bears some of the blame...but the Democratic party should have put forward a candidate with a favourability above 50% instead of well below. They were intent on making Clinton the first female president come hell or high water and the got hell, high water and Russia.

How is the Democratic Party in shambles? Because a few outliers are grumbling?
