RELATED: Ilhan Omar: Democrats Know Things Most Americans ‘Can’t Understand’
“My point is that even as we push the envelope and we are bold in our vision, we also have to be rooted in reality and the fact that voters, including Democratic voters and certainly persuadable independents or even moderate Republicans, are not driven by the same views that are reflected on certain, you know, left-leaning Twitter feeds or the activist wing of our party,” Obama said.
Barack Obama on Friday urged Democrats running for the White House not to lurch too far left in their pursuit of the nomination, while at the same time seeking to quell concerns in the party about its 2020 hopefuls and the messy primary season to come. https://t.co/Z3pWbRTS0I

“This is still a country that is less revolutionary than it is interested in improvement. They like seeing things improved. But the average American doesn’t think that we have to completely tear down the system and remake it. And I think it’s important for us not to lose sight of that,” the former president added.
“They just don’t want to see crazy stuff,” Obama insisted.

Many liberals were not happy, especially supporters of diehard progressive candidates Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. Both are campaigning on Medicare for all, free college for all, and a huge tax increase on wealthy Americans.
Liberals went after Obama on social media, adding the hashtag #TooFarLeft.
“I’m #TooFarLeft because I want kids to be safe in school. I’m #TooFarLeft because I want people to live in dignity. I’m #TooFarLeft because I seek justice and equality. I’m #TooFarLeft because I think healthcare and housing are human rights,” former Hillary Clinton adviser Peter Daou tweeted.
CONFESSION: I'm Too Far Left™
I'm #TooFarLeft because I want kids to be safe in school.
I'm #TooFarLeft because I want people to live in dignity.
I'm #TooFarLeft because I seek justice and equality.

Of course ‘Squad’ member Rep. Ilhan Omar jumped in.
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! 💪🏽

Still, Obama is right: If Democrats lose in 2020, perceptions that their party has become too far left will no doubt have a lot to do with that loss.
So maybe it’s a good thing if Democrats don’t take Barack Obama’s advice!

Welcome to the Democratic Party Barack where you are revered and accepted…NOT.
Make no mistake, Ubama is NOT turning Rightward. He’s just quoting Alinsky, plain and simple. Everything these kooks want, he wants. He just knows that pushing for too much too soon will backfire.

If being #TooFarLeft means believing:
✅ Healthcare is a human right (and all medical personnel have to provide services for whatever the government decides to pay them.)
✅ Future generations should live on a healthy planet (and there’s a lot of money to be made by our cronies through climate change and “green” initiatives)
✅ All student debt should be cancelled (because no one should be responsible for their bad decisions.)
✅ The minimum wage should be $15 (because even though $31,200/year for a 40 hour/week job is not a living wage everywhere, the greedy business people should pay this rate for any task.)
✅ Lives depend on gun reform (and by reform we mean disarming everyone except our untrustworthy police and military.)
✅ Families don’t belong in cages (because we don’t like the immigration laws and it’s unreasonable to expect our disfunctional Congress to change the laws.)
AHHHHHHHHH, he just told them to LIE, changing tactics….Well, too late now, the Genie is OUT of the bottle…..!!!! We do have EYES and EARS, you know oblummer……!!!!

I am glad to see that Obama admits that there is an “activist wing” of there party. The problem is, the “activist wing” is so stupid they can’t read between the lines of what Obama is saying, “Shut up for now, act more conservative, until we win 2020, THEN go crazy with all your socialist reform bull sh*t.”
Poor Obama, he’ll never learn, you can’t fix stupid.
My Kids paid and are still paying handsomely for their education
Peter you left one out. You are #TooFarLeft because you want to kill innocent babies. The left think now they are righteous. My kid earned their degree. They did not have the Government Pay and are still handsomely for it. While they were in college they informed me of the students from Mexico who were getting a FREE College education., free room and board. Are you Freaking Kidding me. Take care of our home front before the democrats destroy it.

All i can say to these disillusioned authoritarian communist wannabe’s …is that their utopia is a fantasy. Sure it sounds great, but there is no government that has ever been able to sustain so many social programs and hold itself together while defending itself from it’s enemies without collapsing in debt, as part the problem is that without a certain degree of income inequality …There is no will or drive to succeed and It will never happen as the two things are mutually exclusive. The reality is that it’s a cruel world full of homo sapiens, who have the brilliant scientists , the good people and always the most clever murderers, thieves and rebels to go along with them…with each and every generation.
Comes the duelistic nature of the human psyche that will never change.
Simply building the perfect world…invites the terrorists and anarchists that seek to tear it down from within.

Of course the lefties bash him he is essentially telling them to lie in a very public way. He doesn’t say don’t be left ideologues he is suggesting they should lie about being far to the left. Even with Hollywood pushing “The Good Lie” now they have to go crawl further back under their rocks and the Obama’s should head for their 16 million dollar climate change free zone beach mansion where irch white people live and pretend he’s not a liar.
The difference between left wing socialists globalists cliate change wackkadoos and welfare state advocates is that socialism seeks to control all the means of production and wealth, they call it redistribution but it is uniform misery for any and all except criminals and the politico class. Welfare depends on a productive economy. Something socialist states fail in every case to meet their own standards and too often are reduced to tyranny to stay in power, like Ayatollah’s of social justice or sharia law pretty much the same.
The fellatiocrats are and have been way too far to the left for many years, Their latest push is why they lost the 2016 election and now they are trying to negate the peoples choice with their farce impeachment hearings. We the people elected PRESIDENT TRUMP to clean up the politics in this country, That means clean up the illegal voting, clean up the swamp, stop K street influence, stop lobbyists from buying votes in congress, stop the biased news in both the written and oral media. We are fed up with the D’genrats trying to impeach PRESIDENT TRUMP and void the 2016 election. When the 2020 election is over we (PRESIDENT TRUMP supporters) will have both houses of congress and
I hope the conservatives stomp the dog pucky out of the liberal regressives (D’genrats)

Amazing thing is Republicans would never show The Obama how irrelevant he should have been but I think the leftist Dem-wits just might do it for us! Hooray! The George Soros-ian globalist banking clique in the person of its fearful leader has already told us who their private U.S. political lobby is going to nominate-it’s a Warren! Hope The Obama’s beloved Hildebeast of the Clintons enters the race as she will tear at The Warren who goes into the election with everything negative about her personally revealed! Yay! Yay!

He is not a leader and the sheep are not following…
I don’t think he was advising them to be less far-left, I think he was advising them to not talk about how far left they are until after elected. Like he did.
#TooFarLeft will defeat the Democrat party – I hope
Today’s liberals grew up in child safety seats in Mom’s cars They sat stuck throughout the trips without any ability to see whatever is out the windows on the sides, back .. Those old days..!!! But child safety seats save lives..
What am I thinking?

If the far left is being bolstered by such nitwits as AOC (poco loco), Lizzy Warren (princess bull poo) or Bernie (shitzizpants) Warren, then they should go to the end of a flat world and jump.
As the left continues to press harder and harder to remove the last vestiges of our freedoms as american citizens, I simply set aside more powder and more bullets and pack another tool or two away in cosmoliine for the revolt they are truly asking for.
When will they get it though their heads… We SAW what HRC/BHO did in the last weeks .. as she got help in defeating Sanders… We saw the result of FISA gate and SpyGate… We KNOW that every time HRC goes off radar, people die or other nefarious activity is afoot..
we remember BHO’s comments to Putin and his games with Holder.. how BHO had “a pen and a phone” … how he ruled by executive fiat…
grrrrrrrrr the Sleeping Giant is slowly sitting up, Pelosi
I hope these pompous liberals ignore Obummer’s advice completely Mr Trump will win in a landslide America does not want to be a socialist nation It has turbed out horribly for the people everywhere it has been tried Look at Venezuela and remember the former Soviet Union if you were taught World History (I know many were not) Castro was a monster not a hero, period Stalin murdered more Jews than Hitler

The Obama’s are surely not looking for a Wealth Tax NOW that they have made all the millions they have, they have stored some of it over seas just in case but all the wealth here is visible and they want to keep it as their own.
