I had this perspective until I started watching him again recently. I know my politics have moved left since I grew up listening to him. But he’s stood still. It’s kind of painful to watch how much he loses the forest for the trees on every single issue. Feels like he’s a gatekeeper at this point. Basically keeping a large portion of millennials from being moved further left.
He’d be the best president in my lifetime if he won. But, that bar is in the dirt.
Ehhh… Not every single issue. He’s always trying to do the right thing, and sometimes he lets his biases creep in (like his work with first responders coloring how he views the police in general).
But I think it’s clear that his heart is always in the right place, and he’s always interested in discussing things with people who know what they’re talking about to get to the truth, even if that truth isn’t what he originally thought it may have been.
And yeah, that would be better than anything else we’ve ever had. Obama tried to portray himself as being this way, but it was mostly just advertising. Jon is the real deal.
