Former President Barack Obama is trying to get current Democrat voters pointed down a less radical path in order to win the 2020 election, but his input was not taken very well.
After Obama told a gathering of Democrat voters to not “tear down the system,” there was immediate pushback throughout the far-left Democrat base.
Don’t Destroy My Legacy
The advice Obama was giving had a hidden message.
The far left of the party wants to dismantle Obamacare and put a new system in place to make medical care free for everyone (that is if you don’t mind your taxes eating up about half your paycheck).
Trump has undone much of Obama’s legacy, so the former president clearly does not want to see his own party undo the rest.
In a warning for the election, Obama told the donors that many Democrats “just don’t want to see crazy stuff.”
Which, of course, led to the crazies in the party coming out of the woodwork to push back against Obama’s comments using the hashtag #TooFarLeft.
Pushing Back
The spectrum of those pushing back against Obama went far and wide.
Leading the way was author and former Clinton (and Kerry) adviser Peter Daoa…
MOVING LEFT = Universal health care, climate action, equal justice, affordable college, living wage, gun sense…
MOVING RIGHT = Stealing babies, arming teachers, oppressing women, enriching billionaires, coddling white supremacists…
I KNOW WHICH ONE I CHOOSE. https://t.co/Kcm8mnxTg1

It did not take long for the crazies in the party to latch onto the new hashtag and it quickly went viral.
Among those that chimed in was none other than one of our favorite targets, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)…
If being #TooFarLeft means believing:
✅ Healthcare is a human right
✅ Future generations should live on a healthy planet
✅ All student debt should be cancelled
✅ The minimum wage should be $15
✅ Lives depend on gun reform
✅ Families don’t belong in cagesCount me in! 💪🏽

Celebrities surely did not want to be left out, and Jon Cryer, the whiney so-called star of “Two and a Half Men” added his two cents…
I am #TooFarLeft because I believe that we cannot let greed cause the collapse of the ecosystem that supports all human life on earth.

This is now the second controversial comment Obama has made in as many appearances.
He recently told the crowd at the Obama Foundation Summit that, “The idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically woke, and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly.”
All of a sudden, the golden boy of the party is not so golden anymore!
