Because they are lazy and self-centered. It is more comfortable and easy to live in a mode where all you expect from yourself is to vote Dem every two or four years and then complacently fall asleep after they are elected. You can tell yourself and others then that you have done your part and that Dems can be trusted to do the right thing in between elections, while you have no responsibility to watchdog them and hold them accountable to the voters.

Obama also didn't have a horrific history of nearly 5 decades that voters totally ignored in respect to Biden. Or 2 horrific decades in respect to Harris. Which such history's were easily accessible to find for voters with the information people like us provided as fair warning. Obama was afforded a false managed perception by the media due to his relative newness by the media and the 2 party establishment. In which they hid much of his donor class which one was a major war hawk corporate owner with large concerns in keeping the Middle East wars going.

@William_Mary There is also another reason that most people are scared to mention because of liberal cancel culture. They thought because Obama was black that something was going to change.

Obama bombed brown people in 7 countries? So what? Look how cool he talks and he can also hit a jump shot (right before 2020 election). "It's what I do". So what he is an establishment piece of shit that licked corporations nuts and killed hundreds of thousands of people in unjust wars. He's black, cool, plays basketball, and can talk pretty. He's like ME!!!

...and here is Obama hitting a 3 pointer in front of the troops. They deliberately used his race to fool millions of people:

Playing basketball on The Early Show:

.....and here he is "mentoring" Steph Curry:

It's disgustingly obvious. Anytime they could get a shot with him playing basketball or putting some extra twang on his voice, they took it.

It reminds me when AOC did the same with her voice:

.....and when Hillary Clinton did it too:

Voters are dumb, and the politicians are psychos.

@TomMcGiverin The only truly shared color is green with politicians lol

@Piece2YourPuzzle Yup, they only care about getting money and power. I don't care if the candidate is a green-skinned trisexual alien-human hybrid, what matters is their real values, whether their record matches their rhetoric, whether they can be or have already been bought, who pulls their strings behind the scenes, and whether their policies match mine. All this crap about the candidate's identity stuff is irrelevant to the intelligent, informed voter.
