Obama’s comments appear in a new video supporting Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50 which would allow the California legislature to draw new congressional boundaries ahead of the midterms
Barack Obama has entered the political fray ahead of November’s special election in California, accusing Republicans of attempting to “rig the next election” in a new ad backing Governor Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50, a ballot measure that could reshape the state’s congressional map.
“Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years,” Obama says in the 30-second ad, urging voters to approve the proposal. “You can stop Republicans in their tracks.”
Maybe it’s just me but it almost seems like OP was trying to make this title seem bad as if it’s not the truth.
Not just the next one, but every future one.
I’m expecting them to pull some bullshit that lets them “postpone” the election when the time comes.
Holy shit, the number of whiney comments crying about Newsom when the ad is about prop 50 is staggering.
I would think that people were illiterate if they didn’t read “Newsom” and start blindly frothing at the mouth.
Recognizing names is far from literate, a 4 year old can do that easy. In fact illiteracy almost necessitates that you be able to recognize names and symbols and be able to associate a feeling with it to navigate the world. This name hurts me, avoid. This other symbol brings me pleasure, engage. So navigating by emotion rather than reason.
Wheeew boy. I just spent some time in progressive politics and jeez. They literally say Obama is the SAME level of evil as Hitler and Kamala is FAR right. This place seems so much more realistic.
That’s because it’s not actually for progressive politics in that com, but for making you feel like you don’t fit.
The voting machines now in Republican control are a give away that they will rig the elections. We should have the UN look at how the ballots are processed in this coming election just to be sure.
I love how the majority of comments here didn’t even read the whole headline, let alone the article, before confidently spouting whatever they already thought.
The system works
When are you going to endorse Zohran and new bloods of couragous young democrats trying to reshape the party?
When they pry the party from his cold dead hands
Holy shit, can we not get behind another neoliberal?
What are our other options? If we’re given 2 awful options then the least we could do would be to pick the lesser of the 2 evils.
Useful idiot response.
I like how it’s still “accuses” and is not “confirming” after all the actions taken by project 2025 ghouls to rig the election since orange man waddled back up to the white house
Chairman mayo
Rig the next one? Like they already haven’t done that before. Just ask Elon.
Ad supporting Gavin Newsom
Supporting him to do what? He’s not running for reelection for governor. Dude hasn’t declared for Senator or President. What are you supporting, you hack?
Maybe literally read for two seconds and you’d know.

Until FPTP becomes Proportional Representation I will assume all current and previous us presidents have/are Rigging The Next Election.
I mean, you’re right, just for the wrong reasons.
Elections are rigged through disenfranchisement, misinformation, and gerrymander. FPTP isn’t an issue when the people on the ballot are all corporate flaks.
