New York Times columnist Tressie McMillan Cottom said on Friday that the former president Barack Obama Will not come to the collective rescue of Democrats while the party has trouble finding national leadership following its spicy defeat in 2024.
Cottom argued that the desperate Democrats that Obama saves the party is “unworthy” and weak, claiming that change will not come from above, but rather from “the streets”.
“We have to start asking ourselves how we can save ourselves. We see the beginning of this in places like Los Angeles, San Antonio and Raleigh, NC,” she wrote, referring to anti-glance protests occurring across the country. “Only a direct and sustained protest will protect us.”
Times columnist said the president Donald Trump The country led to a “dangerous territory” by deploying the National Guard and the Marines in Los Angeles, suggesting that the moment feels important enough to justify the intervention of Obama.

She noted that social media whisper and tests by questioning where the Obama is at such a pivotal moment speaks to an accepted truth: “The Democratic Party lacks leadership” following the defeat of Kamala Harris in 2024.
Senator Chris Murphy, D-Conn., Senator Cory Booker, Dn.J., and representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn.y., offer “Glimmers of A Charismatic Party Head Waiting in the wings”, she wrote. Although Obama can feel like a good option, she wrote, she gave her presidency a mixed examination from a liberal point of view, saying that he was a “product of his time”.
Cottom has diagnosed those who believe that Obama will come back to save the party with the “Obama disturbance syndrome” (ODS). She argued that even if Obama returned to the political arena, he would find it difficult to compete in “the era outrage” of social media algorithms and monopolies of Big Tech.

“Anyone who spoke to a foreigner of the news knows how our shared reality has deteriorated. It is not only the uninformed. It is the evil informed who believe that the videos generated by the AI, share political memes on the stolen elections and engage in the most disturbed political infotainment,” she said. “This is the bell that people with OD imagine Obama can not.”
She argued that the search for the Democratic Party of a “charismatic preacher” is what led to “silly calls” for a left Joe Rogan – or a politician with entertainment chops like Trump to sell his political message.
“If we assume that the left is an ideology consistent with committed members – and I would say that it is questionable – he does not need a rogan. He needs a Spotify,” said Cottom, reinforcing his argument by stressing what the purchase of Elon Musk de Twitter has done for the conservative speech online.

“No matter how frightful Trump becomes, the most effective communicator of the Democratic Party continues to opt for minimal communication. His” Audacity of Hope “has given way to the fierce lethargy of semi-retirement,” he wrote.
