I would like to understand how/when Obama became the linchpin in the formation of “identity politics” and the move towards socialism. I see these videos (an example) and read these articles and they all seem to want to do is point to the Obama administration as the start of what they see as any and all major problems we have now in politics. Specifically starting with those two.

I’m honestly asking. Did I miss something? Because I don’t see it.

In fact, on the other side, what I hear from my fellow progressives is that he was a failure because he was too centrist. Too “the same”. Too nice.

Which one is it?
