See folks, this guy gets it. Obama understands that despite all our differences; at the end of the day we’re all millionaires and should have our interests protected at the expense of a better society and the poor in general.

Obama literally didn’t say this.

Virtually every headline out there has GROSSLY misrepresented him.

In fact, Obama SPECIFICALLY and LITERALLY said he is not criticizing far left-wing activists.

He was, in fact, urging activists to remain committed, dedicated, and ACTIVE for the Democratic candidate, even if they’re not the shining beacon of left-wing perfection we want (and who also doesn’t exist, by the way).

Obama basically said, “The activists are doing their job. I hope they and your understand that not every goal wil be accomplished overnight. We have to stay active and motivated even when we don’t pass sweeping gun reform and Medicare for all in the first week. Please keep donating so we can keep fighting.”

But surprise surprise, a bunch of journalists with vested interests in the status quo WILDLY misrepresented his words and said, “Hey, even Obama said you need to tone it down.”

WHEN OBAMA WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO SAY HE IS IN NO WAY CRITICIZING THE FAR LEFT.

(The New York Times, by the way, COMPLETELY omitted the above quotes from their article on this speech of Obama’s. Seriously, fuck them.)
