Barack Obama, top Democrats warn against ‘complacency’ in 2020 election

Top Democrats are warning the faithful not to get too comfortable about the party’s chances in the 2020 presidential election. ....

“We can’t be complacent or smug or suggest that somehow it’s so obvious that this president hasn’t done a good job,” Obama told thousands of donors online in his first joint fundraiser with Biden. “He won once, and it’s not like we didn’t have a good clue as to how he was going to operate the last time.” ....

... Just weeks before the vote, The New York Times declared Clinton had a 91% chance of becoming president.

“If the election were held today, I think Biden would win Michigan,” Michigan Rep. Debbie Dingell said. “But the Trump supporters are out there, and they’re still intense.”

Apparently our last real president didn't get the memo about not warning against polls and complacency.

Do NOT take this win for granted. It's not a given.

I was certain after the fuck up that Jr was from 2000-2004 that he would lose in a landslide, but no, too many Americans are fucking stupid.

We were ALL certain that America would be smart enough to NOT elect a loser and half assed reality show host as President, but NO, too many Americans are fucking stupid.

WE MUST PUSH TO GET OUT THE VOTE. The more people that vote, the better our chances are of WINNING.
