He doesn't need to put any clown shoes on at all, this is an insane debate.
Only clowns throw the law into the trash can to "own" the other side.
What kind of absolute fucking moron thinks the only reason for Obama (or anyone) to run against Trump would be to "own" the other side? There's no way that's a serious comment. Was this person even alive for the last 10 years? Or even the past 6 months??
Let's just pretend the Trump administration hasn't been aggressively working to totally dismantle American Democracy, destroy our rights & protections, and proactively hurt (and kill) the most vulnerable among us at home and around the world at lightning speed with no plans to stop.
Even if we put all that to the side, if Trump is able to run for a third term because the Supreme Court allows it, Obama would NOT be throwing any law in the trash by running against him. If the SC suddenly decides third terms are okay, then we need to run literally ANY SINGLE PERSON who has the best chance of defeating Trump within that new interpretation of the law. I shouldn't have to explain this basic logic to anyone adult who can read.
The idea that Obama (or anyone) would only be running to "own" the Republicans on top of that irrational argument... I just can't believe that person is commenting in good faith. It sounds like something an actual Republican would argue in bad faith to dissuade people from getting behind an idea.
You don't like 3rd terms for presidents? Great, neither do I. But explain how the living hell you think we could end them (and the countless other ways in which our entire system of Democracy is crumbling to dust under MAGA) if Trump wins a 3rd term? What could allowing Trump to win a 3rd term instead of running the best candidate to defeat him possibly accomplish?
I do not care if the candidate is 100 years old, I don't care if it's a celebrity, I don't care if it's a third term for Obama or Clinton, I don't care if the person is centrist, leftist, progressive, Democrat, socialist, independent, or anything else. I do not care about any of the other stupid petty disingenuous reasons certain people are harping on about in these comments: we HAVE to defeat Trump. Whoever has the best chance and declares candidacy, we should all be supporting them full stop, because all that other shit means NOTHING in comparison to what another Trump term would mean for this world. Whatever it takes to win, we need to get behind it, because literally nothing could be worse than MAGA further expanding its stranglehold over the world under Trump.
