Though, her argument, including her remarks about the Texas floods and criticism of conservative victims being blamed, is portrayed as somewhat unfocused and contradictory, especially given the continued electoral challenges Democrats face.<\/p>\n<p>The author argues that democrats suffer from a disconnect between leadership and grassroots efforts, with both sides failing to address the right issues. While Obama treats party members as pawns in a broader political strategy, manny on the left remain stuck in reactive anger and fragmented activism, leading to repeated electoral losses.The piece concludes with a caution that unless Democrats reassess and unify their approach, future political defeats are likely.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>When even Barack Obama is telling people like Whoopi Goldberg that Trump Derangement Syndrome isn&rsquo;t going to win them friends or elections, maybe they should listen.<\/p>\n<p>I don&rsquo;t like the guy, as you can probably gather, but he won two elections and remains the most popular former president the Democrats have.

It was the people. The people went out,&rdquo; she said, apparently referring to the &ldquo;No Kings&rdquo; marches that we&rsquo;ve already forgotten about. (We&rsquo;re still going on year 249 and counting without a king, though, so maybe they worked?)<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And when you say Democrats, he&rsquo;s talking to us, saying our messaging is bad &mdash; and I&rsquo;m saying, no, our messaging has not been bad, because people have been out,&rdquo; she continued.<\/p>\n<p>She then went into a rant about the Texas floods and the people who were reveling in the fact that conservatives were the victims, although not just for the obvious reason you might think (i.e., basic humanity). She seemed also upset about donations, or something.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;People are blaming the people who died in the floods, and they&rsquo;re saying, &lsquo;Well, why should I give to you? You voted for this,&rsquo;&rdquo; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know, you can&rsquo;t blame anybody for these floods. It&rsquo;s nobody&rsquo;s fault. I didn&rsquo;t do it. You didn&rsquo;t do it. Has nothing to do with Washington. This was what happened. This was a natural disaster,&rdquo; she argued. &ldquo;If you&rsquo;re saying these kinds of things, damn you. Damn you. People are trying to get their lives together. These floods are no joke. This is not light humor.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This part would be absolutely, 100 percent commendable &hellip; if it weren&rsquo;t an appendix to an outr&eacute; rant about how Democrats show up and how Barack Obama is wrong:<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PVGpvTA7-F0?si=rbMNbBx1XvNhWynJ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>There are two differences between Resistance 1.0 and Resistance 2.0 when it comes to Trump. The first is that at least the first time around, they were able to make an organized showing of liberal solidarity. Aside from the laughable pseudo-event that was the &ldquo;No Kings&rdquo; marches, there has been no coherent attempt to take a stand, inasmuch as the thin-skin of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/learning-hard-way-woke-activists-painfully-pacified-trying-get-illegals-freed-ice-custody\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the safe-space party<\/a> has been mortally pierced, and there&rsquo;s no real leader to help it up.<\/p>\n<p>The second is that the free-association anger of the left &mdash; confined mostly to the immediate days and months after the 2016 election the first time around &mdash; continues unabated. It&rsquo;s July, and here we have Whoopi giving us word salads about people showing up in response to a guy who should know &mdash; Barack Obama &mdash; telling her and her fellow Democrats to get themselves together.<\/p>\n<p>But finally, there&rsquo;s a bit of truth that Goldberg seems to stumble upon that makes this not entirely nuts.<\/p>\n<p>To Barack Obama, people like her and the rest of the Democrats are merely pawns for politicos like Obama. Yes, even Whoopi Goldberg, the woman who reliably comes out on TV and pretends the left&rsquo;s solid waste smells like Chanel No. 5.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats screwed up. The Democrats couldn&rsquo;t realize that Hillary Clinton could never win the White House. The Democrats propped up an aged fool who was incapable of doing his job and lied to everyone about it, and made&nbsp;<em>them<\/em> &mdash; including yes, you, Whoopi &mdash; lie about it. The Democrats are responsible for the Democrats&rsquo; problems. But now, as the hardened keyboard warriors blame Texans for their own deaths because of how they voted, Barack Obama is out there blaming the softies who won&rsquo;t go out there and fight for the party line no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>She stumbles upon this epiphany &hellip; and then cites the impotent &ldquo;No Kings&rdquo; astroturf-a-thon as evidence Obama is wrong. One step forward, a few steps back. Again, this is why the losses keep piling up. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-ignores-free-speech-gun-rights-in-rant-about-constitution\/\" title=\"Harris Ignores Free Speech, Gun Rights In Rant About Constitution\">politicians don&#038;rsquo<\/a>;t get it, and the voters don&rsquo;t get it, and they both lecture each other about precisely the wrong things.<\/p>\n<p>But, fine: If you&rsquo;re not going to wake up and smell the coffee, don&rsquo;t listen to the guy who managed to win two terms by treating you folks as pawns.

I&#8217;m not a fan of Obama, as you might guess, but he won two presidential elections and remains the most popular former president among Democrats. While he isn&#8217;t without controversy, unlike some claims from liberals, he hasn&#8217;t faced credible accusations of sexual misconduct under oath by multiple women nor had to drop out of a re-election campaign due to cognitive decline. The standards are low, but he meets them.<\/p>\n<p>So when Obama tells Democrats it&#8217;s time to &#8220;toughen up&#8221; and stop &#8220;navel-gazing,&#8221; you&#8217;d expect sensitive commentators on shows like &#8220;The View&#8221; to listen. Instead, Whoopi Goldberg reacted angrily-not just at Obama but also at Mark Cuban who shared similar views-yet she missed the point entirely. Despite this disconnect, these same people wonder why they keep losing elections.<\/p>\n<p>Obama&#8217;s remarks came during a fundraiser in New Jersey where he urged struggling Democrats to stop whining and get active instead of being passive due to disappointment. This message was discussed on &#8220;The View,&#8221; alongside Cuban&#8217;s suggestion that Democrats need new messaging beyond just criticizing Trump because it isn&#8217;t effective.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg responded passionately by highlighting grassroots protests like the large marches against Trump (which have since faded) as proof that Democratic activism is alive and well. She also criticized those blaming flood victims in Texas for their own suffering based on political affiliation-a stance grounded in basic humanity-and condemned such divisive attitudes.<\/p>\n<p>However, her defense ended up undermining itself by dismissing Obama&#8217;s call for change while citing ineffective protests as evidence all is well with Democratic efforts.<\/p>\n<p>There are two key differences between the initial anti-Trump resistance after 2016 and today: first, there was once more organized liberal unity; now there is little coherent leadership or collective action following internal party fragility. Second, left-wing anger has persisted nonstop since 2016 rather than subsiding over time.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg seems partly right when she suggests that politicians like Obama view activists merely as pawns for political ends-even those who publicly defend the party line despite its failures. The Democrats made critical mistakes: failing to recognize Hillary Clinton couldn&#8217;t win; supporting an unfit candidate; lying about his capabilities; and dragging supporters into falsehoods-including Goldberg herself.<\/p>\n<p>Now while some keyboard warriors blame Texans for their deaths based on voting choices, Obama calls out soft Democrats unwilling to fight hard politically anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Goldberg briefly touches on this truth but then retreats back into denial by pointing again at ineffective protests as proof everything is fine-one step forward followed by several backward moves.<\/p>\n<p>This cycle explains ongoing electoral losses: politicians don&#8217;t understand voters&#8217; frustrations; voters don&#8217;t grasp political realities; both sides criticize each other over irrelevant issues instead of addressing core problems honestly.<\/p>\n<p>If this continues unchecked-and if people refuse advice from someone who won twice by treating them strategically-then Republicans like J.D. Vance may soon find themselves comfortably moving into power sooner than expected<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2462438,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Whoopi.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[32724,59219,32923,32171,34224],"class_list":["post-2462437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-barack-obama","tag-celebrity-reaction","tag-democratic-party","tag-political-commentary","tag-whoopi-goldberg"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Whoopi.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2462437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2462437"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2462437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2462441,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2462437\/revisions\/2462441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2462438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2462437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2462437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2462437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
