LOL Of The Day: POTUS Humor

First Obama came for my guns. Then he came for my knives. Then he came for my dinette set. Then he redecorated the whole place. It's lovely.

Propane Jane Brings The Fire And The Truth

In other words, the Beltway media is so shocked, awed, and dismayed by the success of the Obama coalition that they're pretending it died.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

They're tying themselves in knots to create a mythological Democratic base that has no POC or other historically marginalized groups in it.

I'm still waiting for them to explain how Iowa and New Hampshire voters are reflective of the Democratic coalition, or America in general...

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

MSM: "Gasp, Hillary is hugging Obama literally and figuratively". Me: "No shit, Sherlock".

Matter of fact, anyone who thinks they can win the 2016 Democratic primary without "hugging" Obama is doing it all the way wrong.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

Not hugging Obama in 2010 and 2014 is precisely what got us into this mess, just FYI.

It's not rocket science, folks. Stop trying to build a new coalition when you already have one that works and wins the White House.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

The GOP has no qualm w/hugging its proudly bigoted, predominately White base, but Democrats decide to have an identity crisis every 2 yrs.

We can't seem to agree on whether we want to fight the bigots or the banks first.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

Also, in case it still isn't clear, hugging Obama in 2016 IS fighting the bigots. It's really THAT fucking simple at this point.

You are living in a dream world if you think you can win the Dem primary or the general if your coalition isn't Obama's coalition. Wake up.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

All I'm saying is if your strategy for winning the Democratic primary is hoping you can cash in early before the POC show up, that's a fail.

We were told to just give Bern some time to introduce himself back in July, but now it's January and it's our fault for not being impressed.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

Bottom line is Bernie's only hope of defeating Hillary is stealing the Obama coalition from her. Objectively, how's that working out so far?

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

****

So basically there are folk on the left side of the spectrum who actually bought the hype that Black folk only voted D in 08 & 12 b/c Obama.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

The really funny part is how they believe that but somehow think we won't show up in 2016 to elect whoever promises to build on his legacy.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

****

Pretending the Obama coalition doesn't exist so you can justify not doing a damn thing to rebuild said coalition isn't a winning strategy.

— Propane Jane™ 🔥💣 (@docrocktex26) January 25, 2016

Pretending the Obama coalition doesn't exist so you can justify further marginalizing the historically marginalized Dem base isn't winning.
