Obama’s comments appear in a new video supporting Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50 which would allow the California legislature to draw new congressional boundaries ahead of the midterms
Barack Obama has entered the political fray ahead of November’s special election in California, accusing Republicans of attempting to “rig the next election” in a new ad backing Governor Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50, a ballot measure that could reshape the state’s congressional map.
“Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years,” Obama says in the 30-second ad, urging voters to approve the proposal. “You can stop Republicans in their tracks.”
“they are trying to rig the election, so vote Yes on this ballot where we do the same thing they are”
Politics these days are hilarious.
late stage everything - smoke em if you got em
What would you suggest they do?
Go even harder! decorum and precedent are long gone, it’s nice that some of the Dem leaders have woken up.
So it’s nice that they have woken up but you’re simultaneously complaining they have gone to far?
Yeah how dare they fight fire with fire and not just accept the end of democracy…
For real though, thanks Obama. Miss you…
