When Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to express an opinion on gerrymandering, he issued public statements and gave interviews. Gov. Gavin Newsom and Trump certainly have been pretty clear about their positions. So have most elected officials.
So why do we get this?
How Obama maneuvered behind the scenes to fight Trump on redistricting – Washington Post
Why does Obama have to maneuver behind the scenes? He’s a former president. The most popular and prominent ex-president that the Democrats have. His name recognition is pretty much universal.
So why all is maneuvering ‘behind the scenes’?
It’s a good question because this is a pattern with Obama. Instead of confronting Biden, he maneuvers behind the scenes, props up George Clooney to put out a takedown of Biden’s senility, then he maneuvers behind the scenes some more to try and block Kamala from becoming the nominee.
In every election that’s he’s not the nominee, he works behind the scenes to get the nominee, Hillary or Biden, to cut a deal with the party’s left-wing, resulting in the horrendous Biden administration. But he doesn’t do it out in the open.
Obama makes a big show of not issuing public statements until he’s ‘ready to speak out’ at which point we’re supposed to be very impressed with his ‘this is not who we are’ speech delivered in the grave monotone of an insurance salesman to give us the impression that he’s been sitting on the sidelines.
Meanwhile, he’s ‘behind the scenes’.
Who does this? Why does Obama play this game so often? It bespeaks a ‘manipulative’ mindset, one that is inward-facing, not public-facing, deeply dishonest and contemptuous of people, not to mention democracy, and obsessed with controlling them from behind the scenes.
