whatchu know about droning down in the deep end
I wrote this down during the primaries - It’s a quote from Michael Brooks
"Barack Obama is the main reason that there is a consolidation against Bernie Sanders.
There is a very sad depressing, generational story to be told with Obama. If you were in your early twenties in 2008, this was the first guy that inspired you. And then you had 8 years of materially declining life prospects, with sort of airy homilies about civics, while you couldn’t own a home, your economic prospects declined, and a global drone war raged across the world, and wall street bankers that wiped out 5 trillion dollars of wealth got recapitalized without any meaningful reforms.
And then he re-emerges as a life-style twitter, to coordinate the democratic party to destroy the only shot of hope that we see.
The Obama administration was an atrocious administration."
Obama's yearly playlist/reading list are so cringe, they're so fucking curated
30 focus groups really came together and said 'astronaut in the ocean'
He absolutely never listened to any of this
Fuck, he probably wasn't involved in the creation of this list
I think he used to be an unbearable blowhard in college per his own admission, so he probably listens to Miles Davis
This is obviously curated by some group of obamadrones, who listens to songs from all these different eras (and different artists) as their summer playlist?
I like that Chicago song tho, I love bands with brass instruments - plus the band's name was originally Chicago Transit Authority :traingang:
Damn I' out of touch, I don't recognize a single one of these
Me neither apart from Astronaut lol
pretty much exclusively listen to 90's hip hop and weird shit like Viagra Boys
Totally believable to have a single generic reggaeton song in there, especially if it's featured side by side with insipid adult contemporary from the 80s

There was one day 2 years ago where Lizzo tweeted support for Bernie Sanders, got bullied into taking her post down, and then a few hours later Obama's summer playlist dropped with her at the top
i wouldn't even say it was fullthroated support, it was like "stop talking about his age who cares" and still...she just got totally mauled lol
Even better than these lists is the amount of cope when people try to pretend that he doesn't really listen to this stuff.
